What makes you proud of your country?

[Julielamar2]

[ohshee]

First I have to tell you that I'm disgusted with it parts of it I'm disgusted that we the people hire the politicians that we hire and not one of them can stand up and be great no matter how bad they have sold us out no matter what they do to us we are still the little people but I am proud of most is it when it comes down to something we will all band together and we will win whatever it is that we have to win because we do have good in our hearts would you have good people did you have that people but they will either learn awfully quick to become a are there just not going to last very long that's for sure I wish people were stronger not by their big fat mouse but by their quietness and they're willing to give up whatever to make this country great again I believe in all the people that's what makes me proud I don't care who you are or what color you are what shape you are we are all one and one of these days we are all going to have to prove it it's going to be a big heartache but we're going to have to prove it

[J2ohhhhh]

As a mixed race, I have two countries to be proud of, but I'll focus only on the place where I grew up. I'm proud of that we haven't really done anything to be ashamed of. Never been involved in slavery, or any sort of colonial genocide or invaded other nations to rape their women and steal their wealth. The reason why the Florentine and Chinese called western Europeans barbarians and savages is because they were violant. Western Europe caused a world war just 70 years ago. While Hungary established its still lasting alliance with Poland and Czechia in the 13th century, and haven't initiated a single war since we conquested our land. #1100yearsexperienceofbeingcivilised

Around mid 2010s Slovakia had a dickhead government and forbid speaking Hungarian within its borders, and it caused lot of racism and discrimination against Hungarians living in Slovakia and our then government created a really bad narrative and most Hungarians really disliked Slovakia, but since they are part of our alliance with Poland and Czechia and in less than 15 years the relationship was improved to a level that now there are Slovakian news on Hungarian national television, letting past go like that and focus on the future is just mature.

[Razp_Sorbet]

Times where I feel proudness for my country is
1. When the all blacks do the Haka at a big game
2. When everyone is singing the national anthem
3. Seeing celebrities overwhelmed with emotions from their powhiri or waiata or even better when they ask if they can join in on the singing. It's amazing to see.
4. Seeing people from other countries expressing their love for the country

[Babygirl_S]

*The clothes we get to wear on special occasions (so girly and colourful).
*The food that ranges from mildly spicy to very spicy but never too bland.
*The lowest divorce rate in the world (I read somewhere that only 1% marriages end up in a divorce) 😍

[Julielamar2]

you are indian?

[Babygirl_S]

Yes and you?

[Julielamar2]

French, but I am interested in Indian culture I would love to learn more

[Babygirl_S]

Great!

[Julielamar2]

formerly France had some territories in India, I know that there are still French-style houses that the Indian government has left

[Babygirl_S]

Oh yes India is the most invaded country in the world.

[DryGermanGuy]

For Germany (and partly Europe) :

- Free and relatively equal society
- Free press + free quality press
- Affordable high quality education
- Universal healthcare
- Very strong export oriented economy
- Stable political systems (local, state and federal)
- Excellent food quality (no chlorine chicken for us!)
- The "magic" Autobahn ( ;-) )
- Free travel in Europe
- Free choice of residence in Europe
- Free choice of workplace in Europe
- Unified currency in Europe
- ...

[007kingifrit]

your low birth rate guarantees you won't have the money to pay for any of those social "free" programs soon

and an export led economy is at the mercy of the high consumption of other economies... which is going to go away as global birth rates decline

[Cubus]

I'm Polish and I'm proud that my country survived so much shit in history and is still standing: losing independence for 120 years, two world wars, nazi occupation (Poland lost 20% of population during II world war) and Communism. All of this constantly being between Russia and Germany (not something to die for, if you want to be safe).

[Julielamar2]

Vive la Pologne 😉

[Anonymous]

I live in the UK and I grew up in London so to be precise my country is England and my city is England. What I love about England is that it is a melting pot of different cultures. What I hate about it is thay actually even today there is still some prejudice/discrimination against minority groups.

What I hate about London is that there are so many gangs and they need to make it SAFER so that the risk level is next to none. What I love about it is that there are some nice places to visit and also that it is nostalgic and I have so many old hangout locations where I grew up that make me happy.

[Opinion Owner]

City is London

[PAcc92]

Europe cannot exist without the United States, everything they know, everything they are cannot exist without American protection, their lifestyle is permitted because they hide behind the American military and are thus spared the cost.

I am happy when America does good (i. e. Fighting Communism, Fighting Nazis) and unhappy when it interferes in places we aren't wanted (i. e. Propping up a fake country in Afghanistan).

[Anonymous]

Lately? Not much. I suppose the thing that makes me most proud is that a subsection of my countrymen are being active in trying to improve my country. However, I'm pretty disappointed in my government and most of my countrymen. The nation is turning out to not be as great as I was told when I was a child.

[Glasgow55]

Lots of things. The list of inventions from Scottish people is huge. The refrigerator, TV, and penicillin, for example, but many, many others. We're proud of our country and heritage, and mostly fearless. A lot of Scots have a tendency toward nationalism, though, unfortunately. It's also an amazingly beautiful country.

[MrCommodore]

Probably the mentality of people, the culture.

We are quite a small Country on the Western edge of Europe, there is definitely a humility or humble mindedness about most Irish people.

[Julielamar2]

Ah the Irish, it really looks like a beautiful country. and people also seem very nice, I hope to be able to visit it one day 🙂 Vive L'Irlande 😉

[MrCommodore]

Definitely do, it rains a lit, but it can be beautiful

[Jayplays900]

Nothing.

There is nothing to be proud of anymore. For any country, in fact.
Endless Division, War, No honesty or Transparency within our nations and governments. Everything is so robotic and secretive, and it's causing mistrust and violence.

I just want a leader who is honest and admits when he is wrong, at least trying to be better. I'd take a leader who can make mistakes and can admit them, then a leader who can do 'no wrong' and has an ego.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Right now I'm absolutely am disgusted with the Dominican Republic.

Freaking several millions of illegal Haitians in the D. R. and several thousands crossing the border that need and will be deported along with all their descendants one day soon enough. Pissed off. They all gotta go.

To answer your question its my heritage, pride, culture. I can't really explain it but it's just something you feel inside.

[007kingifrit]

but you're American?

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

@007kingifrit: That too. I have duel citizenship. My parents are Dominicans.

[Lliam]

As an American, about the only thing I am "proud" of are the foundations of liberty and independence enshrined in our founding documents: the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights.

[tatianamay]

Nothing, really. In fact, I think the people of my country should start criticizing the lazy ass government more.
But, maybe the culture? im not sure, I still think my country could be wayy better

Im not an American by the way

[I-C3_ME]

Like a lot of nations, we have a dark past. However flemish belgians are known to be straight forward about their feelings for you. Like apparently tend to be less fake then other countries. That makes me proud cuz it's a good trait to have.

[Julielamar2]

Honestly, I don't consider Belgium as a country 🤣 In this small country you speak 2 different languages, and the Walloons and the Flemings don't like each other. The existence of Belgium is an accident of history. Your Prime Minister Destrée himself said to the King "Let me tell you the truth, you reign over two peoples. In Belgium there are Walloons and Flemings, Sire there are no Belgians"

[I-C3_ME]

I do count myself as belgian over flemish but perhaps that comes from the ancient belgae tribes, they got whiped out but were great warriors.

[Julielamar2]

Lol, Belgium owes its existence to the perfidious Albion (England) and to the treachery of a Talleyrand, I am referring to the Congress of Vienna. But for me the current territory of what we call Belgium should have been French🤣

[Apulu_3]

Unity in diversity. We all are same even though we have different race and religion. Before Lockdown a incident happened which made me believe that this phrase is true. You can search it up on internet. It is a long story and I'm lazy to type it.

[Nomina]

In general, we hold traditional values. The wildlife is incredible. While not as developed, it is easier to get certain things done for which you'd have to jump through endless hoops in other countries.

[Anonymous]

For all the shit that's been happening here lately, the majority of third world migrants still choose America over any other country. You can argue that it's a bad thing, but at the same time, you should take it as a compliment.

So despite what this country has become in recent years, I still feel proud of the fact that so many people still want to come here for a better life. It shows that we have SOMETHING going.

[Opinion Owner]

We'll know the country has REALLY gone to shit, once illegals stop swarming our borders.

[Shizunk]

Resistance to woke nonsense and illegal immigration, general safety and low levels of social conflict in most parts of the country. All of those are basically the same interconnected package.

[jennifer_bloom]

I’m happy we live in a country where the average person cares about the welfare of strangers. I have been helped by strangers at least 2 times when I was in need.

[bolverk]

The resilience that the vast majority of population as a whole has, they just assimilate what's going on an carry on with life, its a pity that we cannot permanently flag those that have gone off the deep end.

[MuddyMole]

Nothing. Why would I be proud of something that I'm in no way responsible for?
I just happen to have been born here, that's all.

[007kingifrit]

a very unwordly answer. pride doesn't come from effort. it comes from exclusion

[suisuiola]

everything except it's history, how they treat foreigners, and few random things here and there lmao.

[darkcloud1945]

It used to be the USA as the greatest country, but since it turned Communist it had turned to a third rate shithole. Thank you Dear Leader Biden ang Giggles Harris. There is nothing to be proud of your destroying it more everyday

[FunkyMonkee]

At the moment, only one thing: the loyal patriots that are fighting back against this tyrannical government!!

[jshm2]

The fact it made the modern world, even made the backwards USA. Not our proudest moment but our stupid cousins across the pond are useful idiots...

[dustybiker]

*imagine a Saundra Bullock snort* 🙃

[Wester1967]

That our USA warmongers bleed and die like real humans. Not the immortal gods they pretend to be on TV

[Jersey2]

Did you serve?

[dray995]

Nothing, right now. We have an incompetent idiot for a leader and he’s messing everything up. We also have idiots here that are brainwashed to do and believe everything our stupid media tells them to.

[dray995]

I live in the USA🇺🇸
Most of our politicians here tend to be stupid brainless Commie-Socialists and arrogant, evil selfish Marxists.

[YoMan1]

Re-read "stupid brainless", but slowly.

[dray995]

@YoMan1
I don’t need some random person on the internet correcting my grammar or misuse of words. Get a life!

[YoMan1]

Wow, stupid brainless and cannot understand sarcasm. Noted

[Hanrej]

Nothing!
My country is in ruins, deteriorating at an increasing pace, led by fools and idiot and instead of unity we've invited elements that keep us polarized, divided and fighting amongst ourselves.

[007kingifrit]

you'll have to genocide those muslims eventually

[Flower7]

We have some interesting states and some one-of-a-kind cities.

[Makeushiver]

It didn't re-election Trump. It was disappointingly close but at least he's out of the White house

[007kingifrit]

trump is a hero of the working class. you must be a puppet of the rich

[Makeushiver]

@007kingifrit Yeah, that's what I have on my business cards: NeXt to Title: I have. Puppet for the Richmond You rob him, we snob nim. What is left of the ragged remains of any kind of worker representation went down the drain with the blood of the Wobbles and the IWW. Big business has conspired but some how US workers fall for the bulls it conservatives leave them. They get our ent

[007kingifrit]

trump helped workers by banning immigration. there is no helping workers without that

[rcljr]

Nothing any more, America officially became a shit hole on January 6, 2021.

[musicloverr8]

America is the best country in the world, everyone wants to come here.

[Manchild2018]

Nothing anymore I now know that patriotism is a scam.

[Reverselogic]

I don't believe in flag-waving. Jingoism is for assholes.

[SmokinAces2000]

Nothing, my country hasn’t done anything that I feel proud of

[Jersey2]

Sure it has. You are just a whiny little bitch who hasn’t really done anything.

[SmokinAces2000]

😂 whatever you say “patriot” 🤣🤣🤣

[happycuriousgirl]

Having a lot of beautiful beaches and being a touristic country

[Iron_Man]

The mighty red white and blue the one in only bad ass country I’ve got the power 🇺🇸

[Cowboy6666]

we are hospitable people, thats all I can say nothing else

[LegendaryIcon]

That even in the face of adversity, democracy prevailed this past November and January

[supercutebutt]

Not the Trumptarded QAnons, that's for sure.

[doopayo]

I’m not proud of America, I’m embarrassed for it.

[Julielamar2]

Why?

[doopayo]

We’ve been in debt for years, we are a big contributor to food waste meanwhile millions go starving even though we produce enough food for all people, Biden continues to drill more oil even though he promised to be more environmentally friendly during his campaign

[doopayo]

A lot more but those seem to be recent issues

[Jersey2]

Spoken by someone who hasn’t even been outside the US I would bet. It’s likely your opinion doesn’t mean anything as you are not a person of consequence.

[doopayo]

@Jersey2 I have been outside the us multiple times. Sorry to disappoint

[Jersey2]

Lucky you were born in into a rich country to make that possible. But I bet you stayed in the tourist areas.

[doopayo]

You do realize that people travel outside of countries for more reasons other than tourism, or are you just that dense

[Fuentes]

I think the biggest thing we can agree on is Biden is a huge JOKE, huge hypocrite at least you notice that part

[YoMan1]

Who ever said that politicians are trustworthy? They say shit people want to hear so they get elected and get paid. Remember: critical thinking.

[Rangers]

And the biggest cause for the destruction of the country is mindless, naive zombies like you and even worse, the politicians you elect. Pack your bags and go, you don't deserve to be here and you're unwelcome on this land

[doopayo]

@Rangers ooh I’m so scared, Didn’t know I upset Uncle Tom

[doopayo]

You also do realize I’m not the cause for all the debt the US is in, and the increased homelessness, and the increased economic inequality.

You’re an example of why nationalism is truly just light core fascism. I was born in america but because I criticize it I’m unwelcome here.

you’re the exact naive puppet you criticize others so much for being.

[Jersey2]

You should go to Haiti and be with your family.

[Rangers]

I'm quite sure the politicians who keep on printing money, raising taxes while hilariously calling for the rich to be taxed while they make upwards of $200k per year and are tens of thousands of dollars behind on taxes are the same leftists that you support like AOC, Biden, Sanders, Pelosi, Omar, Lightfoot, Newsom, the Clinton's, Obama, and many more.

Where is homelessness at it's highest rate?
Where is homelessness assistance funded the least?
Where is most charity for homelessness embezzled and put into the hands of politicians?
Where is economic inequality the worst?
Where is the cost of living highest?
Where is unemployment the highest?
Where are housing costs the highest?

If you answered "San Francisco, New York, Portland, Austin, Los Angeles, Detroit, Seattle, or Washington DC" you know, the most far left cities in the nation run exclusively by leftist mayors, prosecutors, representatives, judges, and police chiefs, you are correct!

The devil isn't a hoofed, horned monster, he appears as a well dressed, muscular man or a barely dressed, sexy woman who promises everything they ever wanted and manipulates them.

The same applies with these politicians, they'll tell you they want to fund schools, give you healthcare, stop crime, bring justice to those who did terrible things, tax the rich, and so on but it's all lies.

[Rangers]

They cause the very problems they tell you they'll fix so they can get elected on their promises to help you only to do nothing but pour gasoline into the flames when they get in, censor the facts, blame it on the other party, and get elected again.

They're full of it and the only thing they care about is money and power, if that means destroying your livelihood one failed policy at a time while hiding the results behind a false claim of good intentions, they'll do it everytime and they've proven that to be the case.

To advocate for leftist policies is to fall for these lies and go against the best interest of yourself and everyone around you, eating away at everything that made this country great and I will call that BS out when I see it, and it's written all over you.

[doopayo]

You’re the biggest snowflake to ever exist. Is it embarrassing being this much of a retard.

You’re not even making an argument, you’re just assuming my positions on stuff like the absolute dumbass you are.

[doopayo]

@Jersey2 you should go drunk driving

[Jersey2]

You’re family came from Haiti for economic reason because it is a great country and Haiti is not. People worked hard to make it a great country and fought and died to keep it safe. Then you take and shit in it because of what? The bottom line is if you aren’t proud of your country, it’s not really your country. You should go elsewhere but this country is better than your alternatives.

[doopayo]

You realize my family is from Saint Martin? If you’re this retarted it’s sad, my grandma and mom immigrated from Saint Martin and it wasn’t for economic issues.

Lastly, how the hell do you think made it such a bad country? Do you know how many times america has went and interfered with Haiti’s elections and took advantage of natural disasters in Haiti? Don’t speak on a country your little punk ass knows nothing about

[Anonymous]

This year has been very difficult as a result in the US as a result of poor federal management and mismanagement.

[veronicagirl97348]

i really can't say i'm too thrilled with the USA with all the stuff going on here.
