Millennial about to turn 41.
I'm tired.
I'm not particularly fond of my fellow Americans anymore.
And I don't have an ounce of patriotism left.
This country can go ahead and fuck itself. Which it appears to be doing pretty thoroughly. Dumbest fucking country in the history of the world if you take into account its wealth and influence compared to its quality of life and happiness index.
Weighing how much effort/money it would take to get Canadian citizenship and whether I have that kind of energy left in me.
At this point I think if anyone loves America they've bought into Republican brainwashing. I don't think I could love this country. Anything good has been stripped away.
The best parts are the natural wonders and some of my best friends. My friends can come from anywhere and aren't beholden to their birthplace. The wonders are only wonders thanks to conservation, and Republicans want to strip mine Yosemite for oil and coal.
Man, I felt this so hard. Every word of it.
My only two cents beyond that, I fear Canada is too close.
I’m an ‘84 baby like you and recently I’ve been trying to remember when the last time I actually felt national pride.
I keep thinking maybe in the general upswell of national pride post 9/11 but that was probably mostly mob mentality and juvenile ignorance.
I am proud to be a Minnesotan though! When I’m abroad in the country the other Americans I meet seem generally decent but it just doesn’t feel like home if I’m outside of my state.
'81 baby here. My parents told me I'd jam along to Reagan's "Born in the USA" ads in my underoos with a tiny plastic guitar. I think that's the last time I felt national pride.
Hey, you can always move to EU. Decent healthcare and stuff. It's not perfect by any means, especially now but it's so much better than the shit I see happening around. Makes me feel happy I was born here.
very true but i don't want to put the burden on y'all, I want to bring the EU to my part of America and tell the federal government to fuck itself
If I had money I would move. But if I had money, most of the issues would be solved in the first place.
