America is not the Greatest Country in the World Speech

Girl: Can you explain to us, why America is the greatest country in the world?

Will McAvoy: It's not the greatest country in the world, professor, that's my answer.

Moderator: You're saying...

Will McAvoy: Yes.

Moderator: Let's talk about...

Will McAvoy: Fine. Sharon, the NEA is a loser. Yeah, it accounts for a penny out of our paychecks, but he gets to hit you with it anytime he wants. It doesn't cost money, it costs votes. It costs airtime and column inches. You know why people don't like liberals? Because they lose. If liberals are so fuckin' smart, how come they lose so GODDAM ALWAYS!

Sharon: Hey...

Will McAvoy: [turns to Lewis] And with a straight face, you're going to tell students that America is so starspangled awesome that we're the only ones in the world who have freedom? Canada has freedom, Japan has freedom, the UK, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Australia, BELGIUM has freedom! Two hundred and seven sovereign states in the world, like 180 of them have freedom.

Moderator: All right...

Will McAvoy: And yeah, you... sorority girl. Just in case you accidentally wander into a voting booth one day, there are some things you should know, and one of them is: There is absolutely no evidence to support the statement that we're the greatest country in the world. We're seventh in literacy, twenty-seventh in math, twenty-second in science, forty-ninth in life expectancy, 178th in infant mortality, third in median household income, number four in labor force, and number four in exports. We lead the world in only three categories: number of incarcerated citizens per capita, number of adults who believe angels are real, and defense spending, where we spend more than the next twenty-six countries combined, twenty-five of whom are allies. None of this is the fault of a 20-year-old college student, but you, nonetheless, are without a doubt a member of the WORST-period-GENERATION-period-EVER-period, so when you ask what makes us the greatest country in the world, I don't know what the fuck you're talking about! Yosemite?

Will McAvoy: [pause] We sure used to be. We stood up for what was right. We fought for moral reasons, we passed laws, struck down laws for moral reasons. We waged wars on poverty, not poor people. We sacrificed, we cared about our neighbors, we put our money where our mouths were, and we never beat our chest. We built great big things, made ungodly technological advances, explored the universe, cured diseases, and we cultivated the world's greatest artists and the world's greatest economy. We reached for the stars, acted like men. We aspired to intelligence; we didn't belittle it; it didn't make us feel inferior. We didn't identify ourselves by who we voted for in the last election, and we didn't scare so easy. We were able to be all these things and do all these things because we were informed. By great men, men who were revered. The first step in solving any problem is recognizing there is one. America is not the greatest country in the world anymore.

Will McAvoy: [to moderator] Enough?

[Joe Rogan]
"You’re a fucking human being.

It’s all ridiculous. It’s not that you know, being a Muslim isn’t ridiculous, but being a Jew is. Everything is ridiculous. Being a Catholic is ridiculous, being a Protestant is ridiculous; being a Baptist is ridiculous, being a Buddhist is ridiculous, being an anything is ridiculous. You attach yourself and your mind to any ideology. You are going to be on a road, and that road may or may not leave you in a good direction. But you’re going to stay on that fucking road, if you’re attached to an ideology.

And it could be a terrible road. It could be a road of circumcising your daughter’s clitoris, because that’s a fucking tradition. I mean these fucking crazy bitches in Africa that cut holes in their lip and stretch them out to put plates on. Why is that? Because they got on a fucking road, they’re stuck with that road, regardless of rational thinking. They didn’t use rational thinking at all. They just adapted a predetermined pattern of behavior that makes life so much more simple. And that’s what every fucking religion is. The problem is no one knows. You cannot know. You can have your own beautiful personal experiences. You could have been the person that was actually touched by God. And it’s not that, you know, yoga is the answer or fucking mushrooms is the answer. There’s just questions.

The human race is stuck in a giant quagmire when it comes to our behavior and our thinking about our behavior and until we’re honest about that, we’re never going to evolve.

For lot of people now, religion can give you inspiration, but there comes a certain point in time, where you have to proper train yourself. And we have to recognize that, all this morality that you’ve developed is good, because it is good to treat other people good it’s good to treat other people the way you would like to be treated yourself. It’s a fucking golden rule, and there is a reason for it and that reason is that, we’re connected in some strange way that we don’t totally understand. Unless you are good to other people around you, unless you’re kind and friendly, and warm and loving you’re not going to fucking enjoy this life. You’re just not. There are going to be problems everywhere you go, you are going to have problems everywhere you go, you got to figure out a way to enjoy this fucking life.

It’s not because of Jesus. It’s not because of Moses. It’s not because of anybody that may or may not have ever existed. It’s because that’s how you fit in better in the world. That’s how you stay positive. And it doesn’t have to be some shit that was written five thousand years ago on fucking animal skins. That doesn’t have to be the golden rule because it’s old. You know. That’s dumb.

We need to figure out like now today. What is the best way to live your life? What is that you know there got to be ways you could be putting forward the most positive energy. I mean, we know objectively what’s causing pollution. We know objectively what’s causing birth defects and we’re taking in too much chemicals and not enough vitamins. We know objectively all this stuff. We know how to organize our world and yet we don’t do it. We know how to organize our health and yet very few people do it. We know all these things. The right path to like being like a happy, healthy person is to do all the shit that we already know you’re supposed to do. Take care of your body, take care of your health, take care of your mind, your stress, meditate, be kind. We all know that. You ask anybody they know how to get by and to be the most evolved version of you – you could be.

Healthy foods in your body. Many, many vegetables, vegetables, a lot of good, good quality protein, a lot of water, stop the sodas, stop the bullshit, start working out your body and get a better sense of like how this machine feels when it’s moving, it’s flowing better. There is less tension in it, your mind feels like relaxed and you enjoy every single moment of the day better. Step one, everybody knows that step right?

What’s step two? Be cool to people, be nice to as many people as you can. Smile at as many people as you, have them smile back at you. Tip well when you go to restaurants. Just do the most you can. What else? Do what you want to do with your life, right? Don’t be doing something you don’t enjoy. Don’t do something that’s, don’t get locked into, doing something crazy because you need money. Don’t, don’t do that. Do what you want to do. Do what the fuck it was that that you really want to do because if someone else is doing it, you can do it.

You know, I mean everybody makes their own path through this world, but a lot of people don’t follow the path that they really fucking feel pulled to, you know, it’s for whatever reason, they have negative programming. You know when they were a kid someone told them they couldn’t do it, or told them to take the shortcut or take the short route, that’s a sad thing now. We talk to dudes, especially of talented dudes and they don’t follow up with what they are going to do, you know…"

"I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an emperor. That's not my business. I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible; Jew, Gentile, black man, white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other's happiness, not by each other's misery. We don't want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone, and the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way. Greed has poisoned men's souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical; our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery, we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost. The airplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men; cries out for universal brotherhood; for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world, millions of despairing men, women, and little children, victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people. To those who can hear me, I say, do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish. Soldiers! Don't give yourselves to brutes, men who despise you, enslave you; who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think and what to feel! Who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder. Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines, you are not cattle, you are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts! You don't hate! Only the unloved hate; the unloved and the unnatural. Soldiers! Don't fight for slavery! Fight for liberty! In the seventeenth chapter of St. Luke, it is written that the kingdom of God is within man, not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people, have the power, the power to create machines, the power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure. Then in the name of democracy, let us use that power. Let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world, a decent world that will give men a chance to work, that will give youth a future and old age a security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfill that promise. They never will! Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people. Now let us fight to fulfill that promise. Let us fight to free the world! To do away with national barriers! To do away with greed, with hate and intolerance! Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men's happiness. Soldiers, in the name of democracy, let us all unite!"
