American patriotism is over the top and embarrassing. In fact, all patriotism is embarrassing.

anti-patriotism and constant self-flagellation over how eeeeeevil some ancient dudes were when they colonized or whatever is equally embarrassing

you're not your ancestors, grow a fucking backbone

it's not really even about patriotism, it's about not being filled with useless self-doubt and self-deprecation and bending over backwards for people eager to take advantage of you

"you need to constantly apologize for your race and culture but also no amount of apologies will ever be enough, reparations now!!"
