I disagree. Most Americans know we are the fire nation/empire from Star Wars.
Well at least most people I know.
I think we're more like the Alliance from Firefly.
Most people are just trying to go about their day-to-day, and the war and major imperialism was done a long time ago. Now there are a few in the government who keep doing evil shit, but for the most part it's a big useless bureaucracy.
This is literally a myth that papers over their current warmongering and imperialism
That people don't know about because it isn't covered in the media unless you actively look for that info. So it might as well have happened a long time ago
