Are you civilized?

I was told that Eastern Europe may appear to Americans like the "biggest shithole"
Well, lemme tell y'all "civilized" Americans.
US may appear uncivilized to foreigners as well.
Most of foreign relations are mutual.
There's a strong look-at-those-miserable-capitalists regime in Russia. That made nations disrespect Russia just as much as Russians disrespect other nations.

It's hard to love someone who hates you.
(let me get real deep here: meanwhile most people would agree that aforesaid statement is true, what about: "It's hard to hate someone who loves you."?)

Also, I think, strict patriotic movements tend to conservatively depend on their own uncivilizedness. Global knowledge is almost unlimited. "American" knowledge, or "Czech" knowledge, or "German" knowledge are just pieces of the puzzle. We want the whole puzzle, right?

Also, is something civilized because it's stable?
Some would say the small European countries seem like savages, because the regime changes too often. Traditional countries like USA, where constitution and regime never really changed are way more "civilized".
Or are they? Well, constant changes even though they are potentially very violent, help responding to the most current trends.
Example: It was completely fine for everyone to possess a gun in 17th century. It wasn't even that dangerous; by far not everyone could afford it. However, nowadays, everyone's ability to get a gun  in certain African locations or USA is a major reason for violence. Our civilization simply overgrown the need for everyone to posses an automatic rifle. Whichever country changed since acknowledged that.

I'm gonna end this with a Philosophy textbook quote:
 "For Cosmopolitans diversity is just a fact."
