As a fellow European, I find this attitude baffling.

Your complaints about the US:

airport security

interference, of the soft political kind, in other countries

military intervention in the middle east (and Russia/Eastern Europe, which you left out, yet it was far more important than the middle east will ever be. And hell, if Putin doesn't back off, it may happen yet again)

Okay ...

Now let's open the history books, go back to before American hegemony, the 1918-1945 period. Britain and France in charge, with some lesser powers having a bit of clout in a few remote places. Do I really need to remind you what happened ? I don't just mean WWII, rather all the events leading up to it more than the actual event. The economic crises, not getting a few people fired, but throwing large populations into famine. Do you think, had you lived in that period, your complaints would have been about travelling security, political power of foreign countries ? Go ahead, ask your grandfather how society worked, what they were afraid of ... and the things that happened to them. Ask a Jew, and I'm not just talking about WWII. Go ahead, enquire about the period preceding the war.

Then go back a bit further. How was life, in Europe, during the revolutionary era, culminating in the creation of Soviet Russia ? Do you really want that, because that's what the society of Europe created ? It was one period of history where there is no denying : the people were in charge (or at least, they were the driving force behind the big changes). Robespierre. Napoleon. Constant wars, for moronic reasons. The eternal holy war of the muslims against Europe was still going, even if no longer at full blast, it may be downplayed now, but was a VERY real thing influencing the lives of a great many people very, very badly.

I mean, I'm not saying America really is the "shining city on the hill", BUT let's call a spade a spade here : American hegemony has been pretty fucking great for America, for Europe, for the whole world. Denying that makes you a moron, nothing more.

Let me state the blatantly obvious here : without American power being unassailable, maybe not globally, but at least on every ocean, our world will get a whole lot worse, very fast. Very fast. Once it happens it will take half a millennium to get liveable again. Can you at least consider for 5 seconds that knowing nothing about history and just having lived the last 30 years might not provide an entirely realistic view of how the world works ?

And if by globalized society you mean the UN, I suggest you check out the UN's successes. Oh wait. I'm looking over the list here. First there was the "League of nations", the UN. List of successes ... it's getting blamed for WWII, that's certainly a big thing I hear. But no worries ... the UN is so much better. They started out with the Katanga mission ... no sane person can call that a success. But surely things improved after that ? So then we have their attempts at negotiating truces between Russia and Eastern Europe. Great success for Russia, those ... Then the creation and various division(s) of Israel, and the UN's constant assurances of peace and peace treaties ... followed by massive attacks. That went so very nicely. Other highlights : Rwanda, Yugoslavia, Kuwait, Western Sahara, ...

No offence but the "globalized society" is not just a disaster, many people would have been better off living under a dictator ordering a genocide against them than with the result of having the "globalized society" that is the UN interfere with their affairs.
