▲ 10 ▼ Most young people are no longer proud to be Americans, poll finds (www.axios.com) submitted 3 years ago by FlyingSquid@lemmy.world to c/politics@lemmy.world 41 comments fedilink hide all child comments Overall, 39% of U.S. adults say they are "extremely proud" to be American in the most recent poll. Meanwhile, only 18% of those aged 18-34 said the same, compared to 40% of those aged 35-54 and 50% of those 55 and over. 18% is still too high. As Obama's pastor said, God damn America! Americans have very little to be proud of at this point.

Be proud to be human because our heritage is international. Splitting us up into national identities is ridiculous and only holding us back. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] DreamerOfImprobableDreams@kbin.social 0 points 3 years ago (1 child) I can be proud to be American and a human at the same time. Saying "I love my family" doesn't mean I don't love other people too, and it doesn't mean I think my family is somehow better than other human beings, it just means I love my family. Same logic applies here. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] queermunist@lemmy.ml -3 points 3 years ago (1 child) And what of the many atrocities committed by America? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] DreamerOfImprobableDreams@kbin.social 0 points 3 years ago (1 child) And what of the many atrocities committed by humanity? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] queermunist@lemmy.ml -4 points 3 years ago Can the bourgeoisie really be said to be human? 😊 God damn America.
