Some of you (obviously it's never all of you, some of you actually are decent people but loads of you online seem to just not be) seem to genuinely hate us for existing. Like yeah, we have our problems, but at least most of us can accept sometimes being the butt of a joke. - ThreadSky

I think the real issue is you're eep down ashamed of what your country has done but unlike us, haven't had the childhood experience of being confronted with that early on. We're at least taught that slavery happened and it was wrong when I was a kid.

At what point in class as a child did a teacher sit down and have a discussion with you about why your country taking control of every other country methodically for centuries was wrong? People were killed and tortured in your countries name. Does that make you feel shame?

We understand that. Do you think I am never ashamed of things that America has done or is doing? I'm ashamed of the state of my country right now! But that doesn't stop me from feeling a sense of pride in the American spirit. Because I've been feeling those simultaneously since childhood.

But you haven't have you? You weren't given an early opportunity to understand that life is nuanced and often, world leaders commit atrocities and that is not necessarily always a reflection of the people who inhabit that land.
I believe you were taught what you claim American children were taught.

You were taught that britain is great lalalalala shut up anyone who has even half a bad thing to say about us ever. They tried that with us. But America is very large and we built our culture on being untamed. They find that more difficult to control. England is not a large area.

And much of your culture is based on conformity. Conformity has always been a topic of contention in America but since about the 70s or so, it's not been a very popular concept. Being different and unique has been celebrated here for several decades. And I like that about us.
