Where does the 'USA as world police and upholder of freedom, democracy and human rights' meme come from?

USA was originally isolationist
They would've upheld these values in their own country, not forced them upon others

>>1883693
>USA was originally isolationist

That's just not true. At least, not true of their privately held views.

The problem is that they don't uphold these values in their own or other countries.

When will American Isolationism finally happen???

Why can't they just disappear, fucking cancerous nation, cancerous culture and everything. If Canada and Mexico shared a border instead of US existing the world would be a better place right now.

Compared to other world powers throughout history the USA is a fucking superhero.

Yeah, they aren't a kind country but I'd rather have the USA on top than Russia, China or the fucking British.
>>
>>1883739
>>1883748
Americans thinks it's bait.

America is a tool for Israel and nothing more.

All the inventions Americans supposedly had is just immigrants from Europe and i mean recent ones - 100 years or so, they could have easily happened elsewhere, as evidenced by the Russians sending people into space and all that.

Not to mention your corporations only backing up inventions if they can make money, but that's a mixed issue.

We would have a better world if Americans stop existing in this very moment, without question.

USA has been pretty fucking evil post WW2. Dozens of democracies have been overthrown by their hands and replaced with puppet dictators in their 'fight' against communism and terrorism.

Our governments don't want to allow that for some reasons.

Everyone is in favor of having the Americans leave their bases in Europe and just go home.

Oh it is, I'm just not from some meme country in the middle east that they can start a war with without reason

From their hegemonic power.
The use of cluster bombs, land mines and depleted uranium is totally and completely humane.
The cancer rates and birth defects in Iraq are totally not radiation related, nor the cancer rates of Italian peacekeepers in Kosovo.

The issue is, for some reason neither your politicians want to leave, nor ours.

absolutely wrong

As with most problems in America it can be traced back to Protestant New England "morality"
Wilson and FDR are the greatest faggots ever conceived oh and LBJ

Thats not Wilson
Teddy actually did useful things in the world like helping negotiate peace between Russia and Japan
Dont confuse world policeman with statesmen please

It's called a casus belli, see how Hitler didn't invade poland for it gold but to "protect the german minority that was opprimed", see how Putin do not kill syrian because he want keep an ally in place but to "defeat terorist".

Indeed America is the most dangeous threat to world peace, the population are brainwashed human cattle with easy to control moral retard psychologies thus as long as America makes its citizens think the countries it fucks up are evil they always mindlessly see nothing wrong with their country.

America is such a terrorist state it convinced I mean SCARED the entire world into thinking its the world savior but its a threat to the human species for reason American retards cant understand.

The War on Terror unironically created more terror.

Taking this opportunity to drive home the idea and meme status of an evil USA.

Given the right circumstances any other country would do the same and position themselves as a force especially if they saw themselves of good intention. If not, focus less on beuraucracy and governmental compartmentalization, alongside socioeconomic programs that generalize a large section of society whom have been standardized for simplicities sake.

Also a nation with hundreds of millions of people will have a disproportionate amount of stupid people and thus show more stupid shit happening as a consequence.

Memers on Facebook posting hashtags and following trending dialogue from whatever FOTM reporter or story being pushed. USA is actually so relevant people care enough to watch with scrutiny and overanalysis from their own home regardless of how little it affects their day to day life in another country.

Regardless of whatever shit is going down, does the USA with the capability ever wipe anyones shit off the map? If anything some specific meddling here and there gains them economic and strategic footholds. Meanwhile the alternative is a bunch of borderline psychopathic and regressed nations leading the way while people victimize themselves over stupid petty shit. they wouldnt survive in an real world nor the grass is greener nation on the other side.

I wasnt aware gun violence in the south was making your Cheerios taste worse.

Realpolitik are the only proper way of doing diplomacy. There a reason why Canada can tell to the Russians to go fuck themselves while the Americans are scared of WWIII.
>>
>>1883675
Ultimately, the idea as it is globally known begins with Wilson with the statement of "We must make the world safe for democracy" read, "We must make the world safe for American business interests." However, the idea had been since before the nation became a sovereign state. The whole thing is predicated of the idea of the City on a Hill which was continually taken further by U.S. statesmen. Madison and Jefferson with their first expansions in the name of Manifest Destiny, Monroe famously applied it with the Monroe Doctrine, Polk has the most famous incident of Manifest Destiny, McKinley with the expansion into the Caribbean against the monarchist Spanish, Teddy applied it with his Gunboat Diplomacy and the advent of Customs Receivership in Latin America thus securing the region for "freedom and democracy" RE: American business interest, and Taft with Dollar Diplomacy.

tl;dr
City on a Hill and the idea of Manifest Destiny which are older than the U.S. as a state and the origins of it as a nation.

Literally every NATO state has had their time of "MURICA IS BAD." We're still allies and they need us more than we need them.
>>
>>1886287

Yeah I got frustrated and had to keep coming back to it after several minutes at work.

Basic tl;dr is imo most people outside the US minus a few countries here or there live at a pretty decent standard of living yet force 1st world problem tier arguments to the forefront while being mostly disconnected from their impact.

>USA was originally isolationist

No, it wasn't. America was literally founded on the ashes of empires and was meant to supplant them all(which it did).
>>
>>1887507
Many of the founders intended for us to stay in our own region of influence and remain out of foreign wars.
>>
>>1887510
Admittedly that might've been true of George Washington, but it certainly wasn't of Jefferson. He orchestrated the Louisiana Purchase(and advocated westward expansion) and founded the United States Navy specifically to blow the fuck out the Barbary States.

Pfff, the 'war on terror'. One group of fools will tell you it actually did well, another group of fools will tell you this wasn't supposed to happen and we should trust warmongers to continue fighting terrorism. The 'war on terror' did exactly what it was supposed to:

>profits for corrupt politicians
>protecting the petrodollar
>loadsamoney for the weapon industry
>take away personal freedom in western countries under the guise of 'safety'
