Actually, I gotta disagree. America is cool as shit. We don't lack in coolness lol we lack in decency and empathy. Hell American black culture basically defines "coo" in the modern era, and before that Hollywood and Rock n Roll did the same. I would personally amend it to "I would LOVE for this country to be even 5% as great as it thinks it is." Because my fellow Americans are convinced we're the greatest society in human history, so 5% of that would be an immense improvement lol.

Also, even though they've been co-opted by MAGAts and the right, guns are cool as shit, and we fuckin love guns here.

Eh... You're right, cool is highly subjective and debatable. There is a lot of great shit here, but we NEED to get rid of all the capitalists that take anything remotely 'great' and turn it into a pay to win scheme from hell.
