So you are a white American who thinks white people are batshit crazy and being American is overrated? That sounds kind of sad.
I think a lot of white Americans are batshit crazy or Trump would not be supported by a majority of them but I guess it comes down to semantics and what “batshit crazy” means to me.
Being American is definitely overrated by many. People live longer, healthier and happier lives on average in many countries and yet we have to make ourselves believe we are the greatest.
I have traveled all over the world and one thing I have noticed is everybody thinks their country is amazing and their women the prettiest so maybe Americans are not that different from anyone else. You kind of have to lie to yourself to get up in the morning.
I don’t feel sad about it but I do feel sad for you if you think being an American makes you better in any way than anybody else.
I subscribe to the belief that patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
None of which means I don’t take great pride in the many accomplishments of Americans. A few years ago while undertaking some research into my family I learned I had family that had come to the US from Europe in the pre WWI period going back to the 1890s and one family member who had died fighting in WWII in Italy and that does fill me with some pride particularly since he was a Jew
