American ‘Values’: Self-Interest & Freedom2:10 – 17:09

2:10

But we are, and we're goddamn proud of it.

2:14

I'm proud of things about, you know, about this country that other people aren't proud of.

2:19

I, you know, I think we all have to find things about the country that we like that aren't things that other people would even th- associate with good.

2:36

Like the way when a fast food drive-through line moves, when it moves, and it doesn't look like it's gonna move.

2:45

When you get in it and you go, "Oh, fuck," and then it starts moving, that's good.

2:52

That's something that you can look at and say, "Hey, that's like a really good thing." You know, when you see an old friend somewhere and they look haggard, and you feel a responsibility to reconnect with them in a meaningful way, and then you remember you live in America.

3:17

And this includes cousins, brothers, and sisters, by the way.

3:21

It's anyone you've ever known.

3:23

When you see them and they don't look great, and their life is in some c- kind of crisis, and there's a m- there's a little bit of you that goes, "I should care about this person and help them," because you live in America and you're able to just get back in your car and drive away, that's good.

3:45

That's good.

3:47

You should look at that and go, "That's maybe harder to do in other places where people live in small little towns and villages, and you see people a lot, and you feel some shared responsibility for them." But here in America, you can get in your car and drive 100 miles away from a family member or a friend in crisis who needs you.

4:09

That's good.

4:11

Someone needs you.

4:12

No one needs you like you need you in America.

4:16

Don't forget that.

4:19

As much as you wanna help people, and as much...

4:23

They don't, they will only resent you for it because it is America.

4:28

In another country, they might go, "Thank you for this help.

4:31

I will forever tell the tale of your generosity and charity." But in America, they will resent you for helping them.

4:40

So you're, you're freed of that responsibility.

4:42

Get back in your car, drive away, and that's good.

4:45

That's an American value.

4:46

An American value is seeing someone in need and leaving, not because you don't wanna help them, but because you realize it's not gonna do anything.

4:55

It won't even...

4:55

It's not gonna do anything.
