[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m late 20’s and consider myself a moderate, most of my friends are either apathetic about politics or veeerrry far left or far right. The far left ones have been brainwashed to think America is an evil, racist, imperialist country that is responsible for the oppression of anyone who isn’t white and male, and the far right ones believe every anti government conspiracy theory in the book (Qanon, etc). Since the Fourth of July I’ve heard arguments from both sides on why this country isn’t worth defending in a war or having any pride in.

I think it’s great to be critical of one’s country and its past but I believe anti-jingoism has gone too far and is an ill fit for this new era of great power competition where the other side, Russia/China are as patriotic as ever and we are now locked in a Cold War with. I personally don’t want to live in a world dominated by the likes of Xi Jinping or Putin and the more we tear ourselves down the more likely this is to happen. We could use a bit more patriotism nowadays and a bit less America hatred. [/quote]

You sound level headed. I wouldn't be friends with either camp you describe, but certainly not the ones who sympathize with the racists and xenophobes on the right.[/quote]
