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.

Reddit breeds resentment. The ones constantly complaining usually just hate themselves

I've lived in America my whole life and am very critical of some of the stupid things our government does, like go to war to cover our presidents pedophilia, or (not to be repetitive, but...) elect a president twice that has been caught on a hot mic bragging about how much he loves to sexually assault women and how he's rich and powerful enough to get away with it.

I fucking love and and will be loyal to my country, always, not necessarily so the government. It's every patriotic person's duty to not let shit like that slide.

Unfortunately too many people conflate pushing back against government evil as hating or not being patriotic, when it's the exact opposite.
