Completely agree. There's an odd inferiority/superiority complex amongst Anglo nations to compare themselves to the US in every aspect from racism to healthcare to foreign policy and imperialism. In the UK, they will happily insist they're "not racist" like they are in the US, whilst happily throwing bananas on the football pitch when a black player turns up.

The same applies to healthcare where any critique or desire for improvement is deflected back to the guys who do it worse, i.e.; the US, whilst in the same breath selling off the NHS piecemeal to foreign investors. The UK is not a warmongering imperialist nation, they'll claim, whilst happily following the US in every foreign imperial boondoggle and pretend they were dragging their feet and forced into it. Never mind the ways imperialism can be performed without being at gunpoint.

The most valid claims against the US have to do with its obsession with the state, the nationalism, the worship of its political figures and institutions which simply don't figure in Anglo discourse... Unless you mention the Royals, in which case it's basically sacrilege, treason, sedition and worthy of exile and death penalty.

But all in all, the worst part of the critique comes in the form of what basically amounts to smug rubbing in of the better material conditions those nations are in at the expense of financially poor working-class Americans who have no desire to be in those conditions and have no way to escape or resolve them as the country is, by design, not a democracy, and has a vested owner class that controls every aspect of their social politics and economics. Ultimately, it abandons any pretense of international solidarity and makes them pat themselves on the back that they'll never be as bad as the US, and that therefore nothing needs to change, and that Americans are all ignorant and stupid bible-thumpers who want things to be this way (unlike the enlightened commonwealthers they are).
