When US Americans get painted this way, it feels like a “Humans- Fuck Yeah” story. Like I’m just so used to us having our downsides highlighted that it feels special to be seen for a positive attribute

I interpreted it as a negative, like “Americans are violent,” heh.

I sympathize with the complex though.

We have a hyper sense of justice instilled in us from a young age. It’s like the basis of our country (or so we’re taught).

I’d say it’s more about retribution. There’s a craving for punishment against perceived wrongs.
