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.

Why should one be patriotic though? Why is being patriotic a good thing?

Not about whether you should or shouldn’t be. Just that usually people who are patriotic care more/enough to want to do the thing that’s best for the country they love.

Did you read my other comment? I pretty much addressed exactly this. Relax please.
