And that attitude of exceptionalism is yet another obstacle to peace, isn’t it? Along with trapping oneself in a carefully-massaged view of the past, refusing to consider the possibility that the world today does not reflect that comfortingly repeated self-image if it ever did, that nobody has anything worthwhile to say to you that you do not already believe, that nobody else’s experiences have any applicability to yours …

IOW, get over yourselves already. Be part of the solution.
