Do you sometimes feel ashamed of your country or your people?

Question

OneViewpoint · Accepted Answer

At this moment? In the USA? Yes! Our MAGA cult has revealed my country to be completely unexceptional and in reality a lot worse than many other countries and cultures. Knowing that it's on display 24X7 for the entire world to witness is embarrassing. Watching this society crumble from within without a whimper due to domestic terrorists funded by Oligarchs who have bought our politicians and courts shows just how weak it all really was and how little most of us really cared.

Yes, when this man was ostensibly the leader of the free world, when in reality he wasn't making any decisions or doing anything but stumbling and bumbling.  Can you remind me what year it is?

Not really. There are some things about my country that make me proud. There are some things that make me disappointed and sad, and at times angry. But ashamed? Never.

No I never had a reason to be. All the people in my country doing sick disgusting things are actual communist revolutionaries, basically enemy combatants. They don't represent my country and don't want to , they hate the idea of it. Those of us who are loyal haven't changed , we make up actual America and have American ideals. None of us are out burning flags or rioting. Commies do that.

USA. Nope, only the democrats feel little love for the country which fits as they wouldn’t defend her and only want money and benefits from her.

Plenty of times. Indians are infamous for many things. But then again, I don't own them all or are responsible for them but they do bring a collective shame.

contentious · Answer

Individualism has always been a defining feature of American life. Thus it's not possible to feel ashamed for others actions. We're not a communist collective.

Yes, not only my country, but my state. All of the woke "LGBT" attitudes and behaviors have made the USA the laughing stock of the world. Hopefully, with another 3.5 years of President Trump, we'll be able to outlaw a whole bunch of this insanity.

No, just about our incompetent and idiotic politicians

Very rarely. E. g. when our football hooligans injure people in foreign countries.

jazzy34 · Answer

Considering we have a convicted felon as chief executive, yes I do. How embarrassing. 🤦🏾‍♀️

leahzrc · Answer

It is not our country but who is controlling it. The president is being controlled.

AngryCarl2 · Answer

UK here. Yes, frequently. We're too stupid for our own good. Our traditional stoicism has been replaced by pigheadedness.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

Only the crooks and the democrats. Quite often they are both the same thing.

No , if things are not going good I just try to do better

andreasderjuengere · Answer

Not ashamed. But I don't identify with the typical ones either.
