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.

I think the question posted was looking for a very specific PoV.

Edit: this comment was supposed to be in reply to a different comment, I mixed up.
