Tired of the America hate
🗣️ DISCUSSION 💬
This isn’t about liberals or anything. It’s about remarks like: “America has No culture” or “American culture is just a watered down version of stolen European culture”. It gets annoying to hear such rubbish when you’re a patriot. I’m tired of it.
I’ve also heard that America never was anything but a copy of other cultures.
“How would you describe American culture?”
America has been the richest, most prosperous, innovative and blessed nation in the history of the world.
Why? Because our country was founded on and our culture is based on God and biblical values. Because we are a historically rugged, brave people. We have invented the vast majority of new stuff (in every field). We believe in hard work, love our country and respect our differences. We embrace other peoples, as long as they embrace our ideals and pull in the same direction. We are an amalgamation of the best of the world.
But here’s the thing. Most old countries describe their culture in food, language, art, history, etc. Specifics.
Americas culture is in ideals and freedom.
I would say that the American culture was rugged individualism, liberty, free speech, industriousness and commerce, honesty and generosity.
But I'm not so sure those traits really describe modern America at all. There doesn't seem to be a unifying culture. Seemingly large numbers of people have different values; grievance, entitlement, resentment, sloth, licentiousness, hedonism, viciousness and conformity. As well, the outward appearance of our nation takes on an ever more soulless and uniform appearance. Ugly architecture and strip malls all full of the same stores and the same restaurants. Freeways and suburban sprawl from sea to shining sea.
“I would say that the American culture was rugged individualism, liberty, free speech, industriousness and commerce, honesty and generosity.” (And God.)
Agreed.
Our unifying culture was God (God’s morals) and freedom. The two go hand in hand. Freedom only works with a moral people. Freedom needs structure. Freedom alone is a two edged sword and corruptible. Which is why the DS is and has been trying to destroy anything Godly and moral. Separate the two and you have the DS mantra…”Do what thou wilt.”
Modern America is being destroyed by design.
