Why Do A Lot of Foreigners Seem To Hate American Patriotism? (Page 3)

[Tamera952]

Because we're HYPOCRITES. (Period)

That, combined with the fact that we're
•TOO IGNORANT
•TOO OBESE
•TOO RELIGIOUS (goes with the hypocrite part)
•TOO HAPPY TO BLOW SHIT UP

[myTake Owner]

what does most of that have to do with Patriotism in one's own country?

[vishna]

Patriotism is great. :) I'm an American, however, being a condescending ass to 'outsiders' is not. America is great, but there are a lot of... bad apples who shout 'USA USA USA' and it's really off-putting.

[macix670]

That's ok I don't have a problem with patriotism as long as you don't insult and look down on other countries. People usually have a problem with arrogance.

[Anonymous]

are those patriotic enough?

The funny part is every country has patriotism, but they don't look at that fact!

They just mock this country because you have the 1st amendment, and that's why they mock American patriotism!

[tyber1]

Well not only does it come across as 'we're better than you', but history has repeatedly shown that blind nationalism leads to bad things.

[JCT666]

I'm British and I admire American patriotism. The people who are against it are usually those trendy mainstream hipsters that think it's cool to hate on everything or simply jealous people who live in the shitty parts of the world.

[93stepsawayfromhome]

You lot seem completely blind. I feel like you would still be chanting "USA" if the government bombed every other country out there.

[confusedapplepie]

""If""

[93stepsawayfromhome]

@confusedapplepie Respectable attempt at a laconic reply, but no.

[Gommers]

If you need a real answer look at what Germany accomplished last time they had the rampant blind nationalism that America has today.

[abundantlyrich]

Cos you got a lot of well known arrogant people in your country.

[myTake Owner]

Every country has arrogant people.

[abundantlyrich]

Yes usa and Europe

[ImNotTriggered69]

Only the shitty ones do. I love American patriotism. Some of my best friends are American.

[Rilect]

Because its being forced down our throats even though we are not Americans by the global empire murica.

[SleepingSnorlax]

In the words of the great Toby Keith "Never apologies for being patriotic"
No matter where you are from

USA! USA! USA!

lol!

[Jan1ssary_]

I am a patriot for my country aswell and I appreciate patriot & nationalist people. Its always best to love and care about country which you borned, ate, drink and your ancestors died for.

[ScottieO]

Dogma is never a good thing. Some people cross the line from patriotism into nationalism, which can be an irrational dogma.

[kelvinmed]

America is a capitalist nation that profits on exploiting small countries resources and this generation is the least conservative and modest

[Anonymous]

American is the most powerful, dynamic, richest, influential country in the world. This irritates some people, especially those who want those things to be true of their country.

[dudeman]

were broke as fuck we just got the biggest guns so nobody is going to dare collect on the debt.

[Opinion Owner]

@dudeman Our government is broke. Our people have lots of money. Last year, Americans made about eighteen trillion dollars.

[Maxemeister]

The reason we've got such a bloody history is because indeed of our size and our stake to claim in world power.

Name me one perfect country

[HarvestMoon]

There's a fine line between being patriotic and being chauvinistic. The former is pride while the latter is complacence.

[Anonymous]

Jealously they hate us because the ain't us. Nowhere in the world has there been such awesomeness. Usually bitter countries like to blame us for their problems.
