Ok. If the argument is

>the rest of the world views americans as stupid

this is probably true. however i think we're arguing over if this is a valid view? right?

If this is what we're arguing about, what are we arguing over? Oh, the internet. Oh, Americans designed it? seems like a /thread moment

Seriously there are MANY countries that are dumber than america on average. Like almost any african, south american, middle eastern country. Europeans dont look down on them because they dont have a feeling of superiority. Americans do have a sense of superiority just based on being american. Why? Because look at what i said earlier, we made the internet/thread. Because americans have national pride they associate the accomplishments of other americans with themselves and so the ignorant bottom rung of our society has a superiority complex, as does the top. However within the small intelligent minority such a thing would be justified. Within the vast majority of the population it isnt. This ubiquitous sense that we're better is felt by europeans who feel its illegitimate, which it is in most cases. Thus they view america as stupid.

really not a complex issue guys, stop fighting.
