>philosophy, actual science, and religion

America leads the world in all of these.

We are the backbone of military support for most of the world...

They are not bad in "actual science" (thanks to WWII). In philosophy they have the Anglo tradition, hence they kinda suck and religion was influenced by weirdos escaping persecution from Europe.

First off, Climate change denial is about as retarded as being anti Vaxx or thinking Gravity is fake. It's peddled by oil companies, the people they bribe to spread their lies around, and retards who are stupid enough to believe said lies.


Second off, America is the only country to pull out of paris, so by your metric we are a "smart" nation


Third off, I sincerely hope when the climate refugees hit your country you get burned alive by religious extremists

American pragmatism has influenced every modern philosopher. Our science is the best in the world overall. I will admit our religions are shit but who's are good today?

Rawls is pretty much one of the two most important political philosophers in the 20th century (the other one being Carl Schmitt). He single-handedly revived political liberal philosophy.

Compared to what, exactly? Europe has practically abandoned Christianity while getting flooded with Muslims. Catholic countries rarely amount to anything anyway. The Middle East is a mess. China and Japan are both predominantly secular while India and Pakistan have their own retarded us vs them situation, plus the former's caste system. If anything, America has the obvious advantage here.
