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.
Consider yourself lucky. My high school didn't teach that to me but my college taught me that and to hate myself for being white. Took me a couple years to break the programming.
Yeah my colleges didn't teach me that either. I can't imagine so easily being led astray. Now sometimes, just like here they offered points of view that I didn't hold but I wasn't "brainwashed" or otherwise forced to abandon any notions that didn't sit right with me, after examination from all sides. Offered many opportunities to practice critical thinking but not be held to any mistaken positions once they didn't withstand scrutiny with new and/or revised and updated information. Man, I Iearned some stuff that I wish weren't true. But it is, and man this place is complex.
Anyway, glad you came back around. Pretty spectacular place.
