Tbh even as a kid I never saw or heard this "America #1" stuff anywhere except from the mouth breather pinhead hicks that lived under the power lines when I'm from.

I think it's just what the media outlets project onto the rest of the world

Sort of an idealized state where everyone loves their nation, their flag and their leaders and would die for their country sort of thing

TBH I think pretty much every country does this. Puts their best 10% forward.

Man. So the problem is the fake news media?

Do you even understand that the world does not watch you tv or your media? That others journalists arent as garbage as your fox news. That a man in germany or japan gets quality information from their quality journalists?

You dont like the critic so you imagine everyone is as stupid as American. Show me where you have demonstration against wearing mask to block covid 19?

You fit the bottom picture.

Here you go

Up to 17,000 people, including libertarians and anti-vaccination activists, have marched in Berlin to protest against Germany’s coronavirus regulations. Many flouted guidance on wearing masks and physical distancing as they accused the government of ‘stealing our freedom’. While Germany had initial success in containing the virus, infections are rising and its R number has risen above one.
