America is not a unique situation. France, UK, Germany(parts) and Belgium are all imperialist places that are also bullshit if you support them and their history. Notice that Cuba, China, Vietnam, Laos, Korea, these are places where Imperialists were putting the boot to the native populations. These people weren’t permitted patriotism because the Western imperialists whitewashed and erased the native culture over time. When these countries were able to finally liberate themselves, OF COURSE they were proud of their people and their country. They finally had a good reason to. You can’t have a legit reason to like the US unless you exploit people. There is some acceptance of LGBT people and minorities. But none of it makes a difference when you ally with Nazis and nations that are awful to LGBT. Any era in history, we were doing awful things that nobody should repeat. Slavery, internment camps, killing Union leaders and members, COINTELPRO, Literally anything the CIA has ever done or thought about doing.
