    The United States is not the best country in the world. Anyone who says this has a definition of greatness rooted in greed & white supremacy

        Patriotism is well and good, but the line between patriotism and arrogance is very thin.

        ..and anyone who thinks 'I'm the best' leaves no room for improvement, which means stagnation, which means decline.

        Then why did America make its greatest strides when patriotism and love for country was the highest? Of course the best can improve.

        I said patriotism was good, but arrogance is bad, so the logical answer is we were proud not arrogant.

        The best can improve if they believe there is room for improvement, but not if they think they are already perfect.
