we were lightyears ahead of any country during the industrial revolution, kiddo

Railroads alone we dominated the entire globe, and all the biggest companies during that era were from here.

>implying the industrial revolution didn't originate in England was not dominated by British engineering and manufacturing

0/10, amerifat.

Also... wtf is the "Jet Age".

And how are the "Digital Revolution" and the "Information Age" different in any meaningful way? How are the "Atomic Age" and "Space Age" segregated in time?

Why did this thread need to be made so poorly?

>What the fuck happened to American Exceptionalism?

It never really existed. The U.K. was still the leading world super power until WW2. It had been for hundreds of hundreds of years.

The USA been a superpower for less than 70 years! And it is bascially on way out, due to really shitty government and a really dumb population. This is a fact, acknowledged everywhere in the whole world.

Why the fuck don't you know basic world history? Why the fuck don't you know shit about the world?

You started making really dumb decisions and you wonder why bad shit is happeneing?

The great america of the past has basically becoming a clusterfuck of stupid christian fundamentalists. The funny thing is these christians don't act like real christians at all.

>>5887181

Nope, not really. Your blind nationalism had also made you blind to reality. Also, most of those "accomplishments" were done by immigrants. Most great discoveries were done by hard working immigrants.

What do you do to immigrants now? Arrest them? Ridicule them? Make them feel like shit? Nice stupidity America! Great job!

http://www.statisticbrain.com/gun-ownership-statistics-demographics/

If one simply looks at the white population of every nation, White Americans are arguably the most developed in the world (when a range of indicators are examined). This is all the more impressive because there are 200 MILLION of them and they are surrounded by 100 million non-whites dragging them down.

White Americans truly are the Master Race.

Even the British acknoledge American superiority.

Your point?

>>5887200

yes, yes really. America is the most influential country on the planet. You're likely influenced by America's culture than your own country's traditional culture. I think that's a safe bet

>form the country who doesn't even have there own language

Stop talking out of your ass with these nonsense talking points.

American culture does have influence, but not as much as you think, and certainly not as much as it used to have. All cultures influence each other, and are build upon others.

America is a completely bastardized country. All aspects of your culture are taken from others. There is little, to no, originality.

Dissecting American culture and discovering how unoriginal it is, is gonna be sadly disappointing to you.

you're more of an American than you a citizen of wherever you're from, in fact.


So, when are you going to start waving the American flag?

Europe is leading development on fusion. If iret succeeds then america might start falling behind.

China and India are both developing LFTR technology and America doesnt seem to be even looking at it.

Genetic, Robotics and nanotechnology are all centred in America however. But in terms of energy they are falling behind.

yeah nah you're a cunt. ITS MUCH MORE fair and reasonable to compare it to say, the EU..

So...Why haven't all Europeans been lined up and shot yet?

>Per capita $49,922[6] (6th)


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union

>Per capita $31,607[8] (15th)


LOL


and remember people, the EU is still 95% white - theoretically, with their demographics, their GDP per capita numbers should be far - FAR - ahead of ours.
Unless hey, you want to compare countries with states, in which case we'd destroy you

WOW. You are really naive. I used to be like you, until I actually got a chance to travel the world a little bit. Get out there and check it out for yourself!

Living in this weird patriotic delusion you have isn't healthy. It also isn't productive. It is the prime reason America is failing behind. If you keep putting your fingers in your ears and refusing to acknowledge your problems, HOW THE FUCK DO YOU EVER EXPECT TO CHANGE THEM?

Countries must evolve and compete to stay relevant. Take the best parts of each other and adopt that shit. The world already adapted the best parts of America, and have now surpassed us, and what the fuck did we do? Refuse to change, and keep spouting we at #1?!! So sad.
