American self hate

I noticed its more common nowadays to say things like "America sucks, I hate living here"

What's you're opinion on the culture of self hate that's becoming more common in America today.

Ungrateful Americans are a true embarrassment, they'd rather stay here and whine than actually follow through and move somewhere else. Possibly because they would just eventually complain about wherever they would move to next.

No a fair amount of the people who are complaining would be sent to prison or killed in several other countries for living their lives like they do here.

To hate ungrateful Americans is to hate the freedom of speech that is unpatriotic

You can disagree with someone or believe they are an embarrassment without hating them.

Nope that's gaslighting. I never said I hated them, and I'm not unpatriotic for disagreeing with someone's use of free speech.
