How can you live in this great nation where brave men stood up to Britain and fought for independence, and have icons to look up to like George Washington, yet have no patriotism?

Funny the right has lately abandoned the "Britain was evil and tyrannical" line for "British colonialism was the greatest force for good of its time". Strange days

Does he have an expensive health condition, or an entry-level job?

he was like 15 or something, i don't remember and i got the impression his family was relatively poor

we stopped talking after our common DnD campaign ended, i didn't really look into his personal life details

They fought for my slavery, then didn't nip it in the bud once that lost. Every good thing is predicated by a ton of pushback.

People not being patriotic and believing what they want is a more patriotic thing to do than someone telling them they should feel a certain way because they were born in a certain place.

Except the United States has an incredible story behind it. The founding fathers signed the Declaration of Independence knowing that if they lost the Revolutionary War, they would be executed.

So if you had been born and raised in, say, Rwanda or Canada or Thailand, you would still believe that America is the greatest country in the world?

Patriotism is subjective, yet mostly ignorance. I'm proud to serve taxpayers but I'm not gonna be a fucking bootlicking dumbshit who disregards cognitive dissonance of this nation's critical flaws either.

The history of the US isn't any more interesting than any other country. China and Egypt have been around for thousands of years.

That said, I bet you're one of those people who use the US flag as a decoration/plates/cups and wear the design on your clothing even though it's against the US Flag Code.

You keep bringing up people and events from the founding of the country as reasons why people should be patriotic and believe this is the best country in the world.

Feel free to use any example from the past... oh, let's say five years or so. Hell, make it ten.

Obama saved our economy in 2010, and Trump gave us the strongest economy since the 80s. They were both better presidents than Biden.
