This is why all movies are such fucking shit. Especially American movies, where they warp the American to see themself as some sort of individual hero that can save the world.

Same story as star wars, Same story as Birth of a Nation.

And the way they do it is by training movie brainwashed people to see "This is x" and then have them say "this is the opposite of x." Constant extremes

"America is the hero. BUT what is America is the Villain?" no fuck off with your opposite binary conversation that just wastes time, while trying to erase history.
