I am an American. I used to be proud of my country. Now it feels like a turd circling the drain. Is there anything going on behind the scene that America is actually doing good in?

Not US here. I sometimes think that Americans are nice individuals, generaly speaking, but they are collectivly ferocious.

Americans are radically different depending on what region, and social class, of American you are interacting with.

But that’s true of any country. Every country hates and is embarassed by the poor uneducated douchebags, and loves their elite well-off cultured population.

For some additional geographic context: The United States is roughly the size of Europe. A little larger if you include Alaska, a little smaller if you don’t. The entirety of England is roughly the size of Illinois.

As a Canadian, I find average Americans are friendlier than average Canadians (experience through the West Coast, Orlando and Texas)

But your mileage may vary: I am white

None of the friendliness is sincere. I live in NC and they were super friendly but actually complete assholes full of hate.
