Both are stupid, especially if you live in the USA, where your government will let you be rendered homeless and dead in the street if you can't pay enough money into the capitalist machine.
What's to be proud of?
Biggest prison population!
National parks, innovation, highest level of freedom of speech (not anymore, lol, but ya know). Actually admitting to our racism and bigotry instead of pretending it doesn't exist like European countries do, and instead trying to tackle the issues. Even if failing. A diverse population.
Patriotism is being a Simp for a State that doesn't give a fuck about you.
Stolen indigenous land?
So... Unless you can define what this means, I have to assume it involves Chinese manufacturing.
Unless you're on the actual Left that Democrats want to suppress and Republicans want to execute.
Yeah... Uh... Im going to have to disagree - I see empty gestures made out of a fetish for decorum, which is a holdover from an even older Conservatism. That's several history doctorates of a rabbit hole to unpack.
Finally, something good! I can get there with "love your neighbor" instead. No State-simping necessary
In a democracy, the state is not a formless, uninfluenced entity. It's the way it is because the people are horrible. The state cares as much as any human in it cares for you. So no, don't love thy neighbor, they're the cause of this lol. Diversity is strength and great food but don't mistake that with it meaning they are necessarily good people worthy of love
"Want to" is not when your freedom of speech ends man. No, the dems are not taking away your freedom of speech
I live in an area that is putting actual money into balancing the scales but yeah sure it's just a empty words ~~~
No deference to the systems we grow up in? No ability to understand context?
The US is not a Democracy.
Congrats. We're all shit. All of us. You and me too. GO TO THERAPY.
I didn't realize all I had to do was "talk" to have my material needs met. To have my ideas as part of the political conversation.
Wait, I do that, to people, face to face. We still have ghost jobs polluting our employment statistics, and blackshirts on the streets abducting neighbors.
Congrats. How did you get there? I need you to understand that is a privilege not all of us have. And without further detail, I'm curious about how many of your neighbors face a different reality.
Technically correct in that it's a Republic. Same thing applies
People who can soley understand the system they grew up and not improve it are the issue, yes
Freedom of speech is quite literally about immaterial needs, not material ones. There is no right or reason to have a right to include all views in politics.
By voting? People voted to spend government money to even harms done in the past. That's not privilege; that's a choice made when voting. Not sure what you mean by neighbors having a different reality, my neighbors are getting bettered by good governance because we voted for good politicians

Nah. Actually, it does not represent you, what you care about, or anything about you. Quit simping for your own destruction.
Oh. You're not serious. Thanks for the notice to block you.
And you are, citing that? Lol
Life in Europe is much better than in the US for any ethnicity.
*except Roma
Europe is pretty racist too, it just manifests itself differently.
No kidding. Still funny when they pretend they're not racist over there especially when Germany has an active nazi party just like the states does lol
As if the us doesn't have neonazis. We don't pretend anything, dear maga idiot. What you are spewing is what your propaganda taught you to think.
Huh? Did you miss the
I put in there? Like no shit we have a nazi party. It's the Republicans. Germany as well has one, the AFD, and it's quite large too.
Eu absolutely love to get on a high horse pretending they're not racist
Whatever helps you feel better.
Oh boy, this is exactly what I was talking about lol. Thanks for proving my point
