"No Problem the World Faces Has an Answer That Can Be Found in America"

"It is clear that we have to start looking for answers to the world's problems elsewhere, in ourselves and in others. There is a celebration of independence this Independence Day and it is real; it's just for countries other than America. The lesson the Americans once taught the British, they are teaching the rest of the world: there are no necessary nations. There are no exceptional countries. There are no permanent global orders. There's just more history, and trying to survive to stay yourself it."

Stephen Marche at The Guardian says that "[t]his Independence Day, the world is declaring its independence from the US."
