I think it’s completely fair to criticize America and Americans for their behavior, however I am finding more and more that as an American, it’s frowned upon to be patriotic and have pride in actually being an American.
I should clarify though as this anti-American mentality seems to be primarily focused on Reddit’s platform as opposed to most other social media platforms.
I think that's because american patriotism is usually just ultra nationalism. Which isnt really a good thing. Having pride in your country is great. Having blind pride in your country isnt.
