Do you think America as a nation is genuine? - sh.itjust.works

Kind of a vague question. But I guess anyone that responds can state their interpretation.

The most fundamental aspect of a nation is to be able to enforce your sovereignty to anyone that thinks you’re not a “genuine nation” and the US probably does this better than most nations in the world.

So very genuine.

I guess that’s not what I’m thinking either. It just feels like the “image” of America isn’t what America actually is. Like there’s a marketed campaign to make things seem better than they actually are.

I don’t think you can have a single image of America. What applies in one place doesn’t apply somewhere else.

The Oregon Tourism department put together a wonderful campaign showing how different we are, you couldn’t run this even across the border in Washington or Northern California:
