This.
And it's not like US "back then" was that much better. US prior to the mid 20th century meant
only white landed males who kind of fucked over everyone else. America's "heyday" was around WWI
and WWII when Europe had pretty much fucked itself over, leaving the US as the only real
alternative.

Nobody would ask that ridiculous question, even if they did believe America was the greatest
country. If you go to a wine tastings, you'd never in your life hear anyone ask anyone "Why is
wine the greatest drink in the world?" It's just absurd!
Fuck you, Aaron Sorkin, for your characters who are more political mouthpieces than actual
humans; your contrived dialogue conspicuously designed to deliver as much political soapboxing as
possible; and most of all for your shallow, safe, unedifying liberal messages. This shit is
reddit-level beginner tier liberalism, the kind of unchallenging crap everybody who watches this
show has believed for years, so they can pat themselves on the back when the TV agrees with them.

I don't believe you've been to many wine tastings.

Eventually you'll have to divide the world into smaller administrative divisions just to be able
to manage resources. See Yugoslavia for example, it was one country and now the map of the
balkans looks like a smashed iphone screen, fucking great isn't it.
Also Lennon was a hypocrite who beat his son and preached for a modest life inside his million
dollar mansion.

Moron. If you think a hyper-socialist world government is the answer you need a fucking reality
check. Countries unite people under similar values, cultures, and ideals.
If you have a world government all of a sudden the majority vote would go to a combination of
Indians (1.25 bil), the Chinese (1.3 bil), and fucking MUSLIMS (1.6 billion muslims).

they sit on their jewel-encrusted thrones.
Liberals are so damn hypocritical and self-righteous.

I've been to two. In that admittedly limited experience, people don't *ask* why it's great, they
just jump right in to talking about how it's great.

That's more than any other country. And it's more than most other countries combined. And if we
spent half of it on any public works project it would eliminate that public works project in its
entirety.
22 billion dollars put towards roads would pave America flat.

I think his point was that shit like this only applies to the lowest common denominator of
Americans.
It is a bunch of misconstrued and out of context facts meant to shake the foundation of the
many,many idiots who in fact have never taken an economics or government course in their life.
Anyone who has knows just how stupid OPs post is and won't give it a second thought, so this
scene obviously wasn't intended for even the less studied of people on economics.

It was a decent argument, until he chalked it up to the people being "informed."
There is much more information available today, and the information given to the people before
was often false; due to either inaccurate science or propaganda.
It would have been better for him to claim it was ethics or values, not information.
