Look, I don't know whether or not this fits in the politics/religion forum, but I digress. It seems that literally everybody else EXCEPT for Americans are allowed to be proud of their homeland while having at least ONE SHARD of basic human respect. Even from my own country, patriots are snubbed by pretentious debby-downers who always say, "Oh, you're one of THOSE people. I'm so happy you're proud of living in the world's fattest nation with the biggest bullshit education. Have fun driving your ugly SUVs and supporting child killing drones." While some of those sentiments are DEFINITELY true, need I remind you that HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN MAY CAST THE FIRST STONE??? AKA NOBODY? If someone from Japan told me how great their country was, I would NEVER say, "Oh, you're one of THOSE people. Have fun living in a country where children beat the elderly, people slay thousands of dolphins, and men die from karoshi every day." If I were to even THINK about doing that, I wouldn't be taken seriously or respected in even the slightest way, which would be what I would deserve if I did that (thankfully NEVER). HOWEVER, everyone, from my own fellow Americans to the ends of the whole earth, says hateful things about America and its ENTIRE population every waking minute, but you know what THEY get? APPLAUDED. FUCKING APPLAUDED because it's not just ANY nation we're talking about, it's the EVIL, GREEDY, FAT, STUPID, WAR MONGERING nation that simply MUST be put down for everything it has done! While I'm definitely not defending the atrocities that we have done (and in general, I just DON'T defend atrocious acts), I find it absolutely appalling that our own government, OUR OWN FRIGGIN GOVERNMENT, wants us down on our knees and apologizing not just for EVERY LITTLE THING we DO, but for who we ARE, 24/7!! OK, WE GET IT. WE'RE APPARENTLY ASSHOLES FOR LIKING AMERICA ABOVE ONE IOTA OF PRIDE.
tldr: I hate it when people antagonize Americans for being patriotic, but will freely ramble about how amazing they are just because they aren't us.
