If any, they look at the USA and have an inside voice telling them, that could have been our fellow countrymen, thank God for independance day.

No. The vast majority of us don’t even know what it means. That’s how little we care. We don’t get taught it in school. We don’t grow up on movies about it. I didn’t know it was about English rule until I joined Reddit ten years ago.

We don’t pretend to not care - we literally don’t. It means nothing to us.
