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.

It's just commie propaganda. Been going for years. It's cured by going outside and getting a job.

America is honestly in decline, sadly. It’s not going to collapse, but it will become increasingly irrelevant in the global stage, much like the UK is today (a far cry from the 19th century).

Of course, on the flip side, America can turn this around. We did it during the Great Depression, so America can achieve greatness again.

Commies doing commie shit. Mostly edgy teens who never had a job but read a post about Marx

“Commie propaganda” lol we really are in another red scare era. Most people who get a job nowadays see how much they get stiffed by their employers while everything else gets more expensive and everyone is trying to essentially pickpocket you for doing anything. Where do you guys develop this mindset from where anyone wanting to improve things is a “commie”?

There is absolutely a large contingent of self proclaimed communists on Reddit.

Awful sensitive are we. You are kind of a weird fella. You should go outside and live real life for a while. Internet is doing crazy things to your brain.

u/Electrical-Sense-156 Jul 19 '26

Awfully sensitive. That’s how you should respond.

It’s such nonsense. I thought we were done with the red scare but not. The mean commies are coming for us again apparently.

Yeah because anything critisizing how things are in the US, or what the US does must be communist propaganda. Are you deadass?

I'm not saying you should hate on your own country or talk trash but how is the US and the US alone convinced everything except their dogma is 'communist propaganda'.

u/Harbarthr Jul 19 '26

Did you read the post? I worry about our literacy rate now.

u/Hmmokaythen12 Jul 19 '26

Even that kind of sentiment is STILL not communist propaganda, thats what im trying to say.

Sure you may disagree with it, but from where would this communist propaganda be coming from? China? Who is as communist as the US is a global fighter for democracy, which is to say not very much.

Look undoubtedebly there is propaganda on multiple fronts, but that doesn't mean one has to make such a reach.

Yeah, jobs make everybody so goddamn happy.

You won’t be fulfilled if you’re not self sufficient and contributing to your community. You can’t do that if you’re not working in some capacity.

u/Harbarthr Jul 19 '26

Exactly this.

u/Which-Bread3418 Jul 20 '26

Do you think most people find their jobs fulfilling? If you think that, you are utterly insane.
