Any time you criticize the US, someone will inevitably come back with "Well at least we landed on the Moon." Like who the fuck cares, it happened 50 years ago. It's annoying as fuck and I live in this country.

    It's bonkers to me that Americans can triumphantly sound the air horns over a competition with a country that was a semi-feudal, wartorn husk 50 years prior, which would then go on suffer the most death and destruction in the bloodiest war in history, without realizing what a massive self-own it is that there was even a competition in the first place.

    I mean, not really since Western libs live in a land of idealism and rainbows but it's almost kind of impressive how long it holds.
