Nice question! I am not very patriotic. I have this feminine desire to just leave my country behind and live somewhere completely different. I want to adopt a different culture, accent (get rid of my British and Indian "hybrid" accent), religion etc. I am not at all territorial like men. Anyone can come live in my country.

I always wonder if there's a place for me in white man's paradise (the West). I can't deny that those countries look like heaven (mostly). I have travelled and found the people are friendlier than they are on the internet. The country I live in is not the worst but there are so many better ones out there. When I visit them, I don't feel like leaving.

I'd rather be sitting here with a lover

Great answer and similar to my question.

I've felt the same way recently in the sense of lost culture being a white American. I just got back from a week in Germany and thought it was a good view into how others live. I've been to other countries though not desirable ones to live in so I've seen a mix of how the world is. Can't say I'm sold on staying "American"..

[Babygirl_S]

@Soldieronmission Thank you!

[Spongebobssocks]

Nice question!

Well Sweden has become so americanized (i know thats not a real word but you get what I mean😂) and I speak English every day at home with my roomate. But I do still feel "swedish". We still have our traditions like "midsummer", "majbrasan" and we celebrate Christmas the 24th.

I am not too close to my own culture, its kinda seen as a "whatever" situation. But its definatly there. Its not so intressting when you are used to it lol

[Red-Blaze]

Thanks for the great answer with the details :)

[Spongebobssocks]

😊👌🏻

[Spongebobssocks]

Thank you for MHO:)

Since Vivek Ramaswamy announced his candidacy for President, my optimism for the U. S. has risen fabulously.

The U. S. is here, we're going to be stronger than ever, we will unite, we will thrive and prosper.

Things WILL be better.

The first step is believing it to be possible.

I believe!

VR in '24!!!

[Red-Blaze]

Ok... but how do you feel your connection to the country is beside the political campaign? :)

[exitseven]

I like him and think he might make a good president. I doubt he has the horsepower to get the nomination

[exitseven]

I am proud to be American. I am of this country as opposed to simply from this country. I know America is in a slump right now but I am sure it will get better again.

[Red-Blaze]

Thanks
May I also ask what symbolize the country for you?

[exitseven]

[4ngelic]

sometimes feel that connection and a little bit of national pride like during the world cup and stuff like that but usually dont feel connected or anything at all. mainly cos i have two nationalities (french & American) and have found that i'm too french to be American and too American to be french, so dont completely feel at home in the countries. funnily enough even have a bit of the respective countries accent in both languages. like people from both countries often ask me where i'm from lol. plus throw in that i grew up in other countries too so culturally i'm a total blend so feel more nationalityless than anything most of the time

[4ngelic]

why did the site capitalize American but not french lol 👀 u hate french people or what

[Red-Blaze]

Did the site do it?
I think its just thinks American has to refer to a name and french may also be something like french toast or fresh bagel and stuff? is there anything like that beside American football?

Also testing the captlazing :P

[Rosexøxø]

Oh nice question. I'm not a part of my country, but I love it lol
It's just kinda there. I love mine because the land is kinda mine.

I love it a bit more for that reason, otherwise I love all countries the same.

I love mine for free speech and rights. Usa is where I'm from.

If I should make any political position, I would surely improve it.

It's a decent one. As are the others, but more so all of humanity is fucked.

[Red-Blaze]

Thanks for the detailed answer :)

[OldWomanBySoul]

Honestly, I'm pretty proud of my country, I'm not patriotic by far but I'm definitely not ashamed of my country. I'm from Baltics and pretty much who I am is shaped by that, we don't have a huge culture like Indians or east Asians, or even french do and everything we have is homey lol. That's isn't probably the most helpful answer or answer that you were looking for but I honestly don't know how to answer you questions lmao

[Red-Blaze]

Honestly pretty good answer, and pretty much the type of answers I was hopping to have
Just like to add do you have something that symbolize your country for you?

[OldWomanBySoul]

I guess we have the unity of a small country, people tend to take care of eachother and we loooooove singing and music so the latter one is what would symbolize my homeland overall probably

[strateguy632]

when i see my country flag i feel an emotion and then surprise that i am that connected so i am connected more than i am aware.

[Red-Blaze]

Thanks for the direct answer and answering more then the title alone :)
What country is it if I can ask?

[poetic_pisces]

I love my country

my friends. my memories and all the beautiful things in it

also i dont like nor defend the trashy parts of the culture

I think no country is perfect 100 %

[Red-Blaze]

Great but do you feel your part of it? and is it part of you?

Also can I ask where you from?

[poetic_pisces]

Egypt

[Nikki1989]

I feel I am a child of the world, not any one country.

[Red-Blaze]

Thanks for the direct answer :)

[RealMarek]

My country is not a real country. It is an empire, but an empire that only serves the elites, not the people that gave rise to it.

[Red-Blaze]

But you still say my country? so do you still then feel as part of it?

[RealMarek]

Not really. In common parlance it’s called a country. I suppose if any area ruled by a single sovereign power is a country, then that is what it is. Perhaps it is better said that my country does not qualify as a nation. It is an empire that encompasses a myriad of disparate regions, imported cultural groups, and de-cultured peoples.

[NathanDavis]

I very much feel both of my countries to be a part of me...

[Red-Blaze]

Can I ask for more about this? what you mean both country's?
Also Are you also feeling part of it?

[NathanDavis]

I'm dual national myself, yes... grew up at the border, with family on both sides

and yes, I very much feel part of these countries as all my life revolves around my people who are in both of these countries as well

a big big part of myself, are the people in my life

[Red-Blaze]

Thanks

[DextroShade]

I feel like my country is splitting into two sides: the woke side and the based side. I identify with the latter and hope we can crush the former and take back our once-beautiful cities.

[Red-Blaze]

Ok, but how do you feel your connection to the country is like besides the groups?

[DextroShade]

That will depend on which side wins.

[EpicSnail]

Very little. Can't relate to the culture at all. Don't understand people who are content to live here.

[Red-Blaze]

Thanks for the direct answer

[Red-Blaze]

Can I ask where?

[EpicSnail]

Denmark

[Anonymous]

I want to be part of it, but politicians, especially democrats, have made it their mission to destroy it and make our lives as miserable as possible

They've succeeded quite a bit, and there's nothing I can do about it

[Red-Blaze]

And do you feel its part of you?

[msc545]

I am ashamed to tell others I am am an American. That is how bad it is.

[Red-Blaze]

Because of the political horizon? or something else?
And regardless what outers think what is you feeling of connection to your country?

[msc545]

I live here, sadly. That is it.

[DizzyDesii]

I enjoy living here. Thats enough to make it feel like home tbh

[Katrina79]

I feel connected though at times I wanna take a pillow smother someone with a pillow. Especially with fruit flies I mean the people.

[Dargil]

I used to but now it is circling the drain.

[Red-Blaze]

Can I ask why? what made you feel that the feeling went down the drain?

[Dargil]

You need only look at the news beyond the leftist media to know it. There is too much lost to itemize.

[grega239]

Im nothing without it.

[Agape93]

Not much

[juatadude]

It's getting further and further away

[Red-Blaze]

The country? or you connection to it?
