Don_DickleI 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?
SanctusLet me tell you the good news: we’ve always been fascist, racist, bullies. This admin is just not covering it up at all. Glad you’re awake now my guy.
yea that was really good news. I ment so a small part of me can be proud again to be American?
No reason ever to be.
You don’t think there are any good reasons to be proud of being an American? Why not?
atomicorangeUsually it’s considered pretty stupid to be proud of things you didn’t have a hand in. Why be proud of where you were born, when it was just random chance? I can see being happy or feeling privileged to be an American - that at least suggests what you’re appreciating is that it benefits you. Saying you’re proud implies that being from the USA is some sort of moral success and it’s just not.
I’m proud of being gay. Are you saying I shouldn’t be?
