    Phrases like "American Dream" and "Manifest Destiny" are just euphemisms for genocide and exploitation.

    No other country has concepts like this. They have stuff like mottos and national ideals, but the people have existed long enough in the land to be their own motivation to exist as a nation. The US was created in order to commit genocide and exploit the land. They justify nationhood and citizenship after the fact.

    I think it's just the Anglo colonies that qualify for this, since European colonies "allowed" indigenous people to persist in some manner. Even then, there's no eg. Canadian or Australian dream that I've heard of. So it's just American being exceptional, exceptionally genocidal and exploitative.
