No. We’re living in the early stages of a fascist dictatorship. And we’ve been doing this to the rest of the world for way too fucking long. The sooner we come to grips with the fact that the hens have come home to roost and we’re reaping what we’ve sown, the sooner we can actually take it down and build something better.
You think there’s nothing going on behind the scenes that an American citizen should be proud of? Note this is different from “Americans have a lot to be ashamed of AND a lot of to be proud of”
What’s actually the point of this exercise? Trying to scrape together reasons to be proud of living in a fascist dictator state, “not everything is that bad”, just reads like cope. Yeah sure, there are some decent places in the US, but even those could be much better than they are. Every facet of life in the US is being held back by the fascism part, even whatever “good” parts we can brainstorm up
