I'm mostly posting because I reflexively have to take the other end of anything goodie is arguing, but seriously, there's nothing inherently contradictory there.
The fact that X is "the best" doesn't require X to be perfect. Everyone can improve.
You really do have to disagree with everything I say. You don't even have control over it.
I understand that there is no inherent problem with complaining about your country while still believing it's the best. That's obvious. There are two problems there -
1.) I would say literally 100% of the people that subscribe to this thinking simply do not have the knowledge necessary to make that assesment because they don't have the necessary knowledge of other countries to be educated enough to say that the US is best.
2.) My problem is mostly that the same people that say they "love" the country complain about every aspect of it, which is contradictory.
