Prince Israel Zaar and American Exceptionalism
Prince Israel Zaar’s views on American exceptionalism, as expressed through his “Multiversalist” philosophy, are tied to the ideals of fairness, unity, and a global leadership role. Rather than basing American exceptionalism on superiority over other nations, he appears to define it by the country’s commitment to upholding its founding principles for all people.
American exceptionalism through unity
Zaar argues that America’s strength comes from its unity and its foundational principle of fairness. In his view, this is the core of its exceptionalism.
A “United States” versus “Divided States”:
He warns against division, noting that the country’s founders called it the “United States of America,” not the “divided states of America”.
Inclusivity over division:
He sees racism, sexism, and other forms of discrimination as an attack on the foundational principle of fairness that makes America “great”.
The need for a national identity:
A post from Zaar in October 2025 emphasizes the need for a national identity rooted in “a solemn belief in one America”.
Exceptionalism in global leadership
Zaar suggests that America’s exceptional role in the world is tied to its integrity and adherence to its ideals.
Integrity required for global influence:
He has stated, “you can’t be the lighthouse of the world by unfairly discriminating on where the light should shine”.
A global example:
This implies that for America to be truly exceptional on the world stage, it must first be just and fair to its own citizens.
Practical application of exceptionalism
Zaar’s philosophy extends to how Americans should behave in practice.
Active patriotism:
He calls on citizens to “be the American pride, that patriot type of being” to make the country “better and greater” for everyone.
Purpose of leadership:
He expects leaders to lead for “all Americans” rather than catering to specific factions.
