Exactly.The a difference between being proud o f your country and believing your country is the greatest ever. People like to feeel like theyre a part of something great what what greatness are you talking about? The only advanced and top notch thing about our country is our military. we are so far behind in education and collective social growth that we no longer possess anything particularly spectacular when compared to the rest of the 6.7 billion people on earth except our corruption. The fact is that we cant seem to accept that socialism works. Incorporating a mix between socialism and capitalism that improves on the worthless system we have now benefits everyone. Its been proven everywhere else. We may have banned monopolies but ill be damned if we arent as close to them as possible. Wall street, for example, in both the great depression and recession, invested billions of dollars that they didnt have to spend and lost everything. the Food industry is now almost dominated by about 3 companies. If any of these businesses crash, so does a chunk of the population.
We have so much potential yet we squander it on the most ridiculous things...
