Overall, 39% of U.S. adults say they are “extremely proud” to be American in the most recent poll.

Meanwhile, only 18% of those aged 18-34 said the same, compared to 40% of those aged 35-54 and 50% of those 55 and over.

18% is still too high. As Obama’s pastor said, God damn America! Americans have very little to be proud of at this point.

    Do you think Pol Pot or Hitler were just misguided?

    For those two examples no. But I think many of each of their followers were(but definitely not all).

    I looked but couldn’t find anything for you, that sucks. That means you have a hard time participating in a forum you mod. You probably should use a different account or instance when you want to talk, the voyager app and the liftoff app easily switch between instances until they get that fixed.

    I was going to do that, but I’m worried about how to do it transparently. I used to use a subreddit where the mod had 20 different accounts, obviously I wouldn’t do that but it could still seem like I’m manipulating a conversation if I use an alt.

        Even if they’re not pure evil but go along with evil acts and/or perform them, what’s the difference?

        The difference is one person wants to harm people, the other genuinely wants to do good but they are wrong on what is good. I think most people genuinely want to do good.

        You could post in the sidebar what your alt is if you think it’s necessary.

        Maybe, I’ll think about it.

            I don’t think all the good people are concentrated in one region, clearly segrated from bad people. Also, I think more than 2/3rds want to do good.
