Why can’t I say that I hate my country so much that I cannot wait until I can stop calling my country altogether? Why can’t I hold an entire nation accountable for all the crimes it has committed throughout history? In addition, why do people have to invalidate me by saying that it has done so much better? What does the tiniest good of a country matter if all it has done is spread violence, hatred, and war?
I was born and raised in the “land of the free and the home of the brave,” the United States of America. I am proud to say that I hate every single minute of it. I hate the people who make it up and claim that they are the freest in the world. This piece of land is not mine because a bunch of stupid whites came and stole it, believing they had the greater right. Could they not lie to themselves any harder?
They love spreading war all because some stupid towers fell, they love to kill and spread hate all because some refuse to conform, they love to steal because they are always hungry, and they love to blame me just for being born for everything that’s wrong with “their” nation. I can’t decide between being lied to that I am free or honestly told that I am a slave. Either way, I’m a prisoner thanks to my own given privilege.
I hate being white and I hate being male, but I love not believing in God and I love having no interest in being fruitful and multiplying. Morality and law and order are the principles by idiots, of idiots, and for idiots, and it is true that there can be too much restriction and too much freedom if distributed as doctrine. It’s clear because acts of putting others under a boot are seen everywhere. Being born and raised in the deep south, Georgia, redneck republican central, and discovering that you are an autistic asexual atheist can lead to more trouble than not. I know what it feels like to live under someone else’s thumb constantly. I can’t point this out, though, because it’s “disturbing” and apparently doesn’t make you any better than the oppressors. I swear that one of these days, the lives ruined by “the land of the free” will have their revenge for kidnapping children and invading and bombing and stealing from others.
I need to force things to make sense. Violence gets a bad rap, and I’m not talking about videogame violence or violence committed against people who don’t deserve it. I’m talking about violence when it is used to gain your independence from those who want to keep me under wraps. The religious insult me every day for being who I am, so I make the point of sending the message back twofold…and all the time I end up looking like the bad guy. I remember watching a few clips of this one TV show. There was this guy who was a news anchor, and he acted very much like House. He was very unorthodox and didn’t care about anything else except the truth. He was interviewing an individual, and he was pressuring and him to tell the truth. Wouldn’t you know it, he came out looking like a bully. I think I’ve mentioned before that the courage to conform is unfortunately more necessary than the courage to not conform.
The rest of humanity has chosen this hell for themselves, and I honestly feel that they lost the right to change years ago. They didn’t change when Charleston happened, they didn’t change when Sandy Hook happened, and they are still not changing even after Las Vegas. They sure as hell refused to change when you-know-who took power.
And you know what?
They don’t deserve to.
I hate my country and I’m proud.

I agree with a lot of this. Not all of it, but a lot.
America is VERY overated.
And yes, I’m an American.
The concepts and principles America was founded upon, freedom of speech, expression and religion, etc., are wonderful things. The country it has evolved into, however, obviously is an entirely different beast. Also a white American male, and while I enjoy the freedoms and luxuries of democracy and capitalism, I am also appalled at the course this country travels. Greed, repression, division, oppression, war mongering for illicit thieves safely tucked away in their high price castles. . . well, I think your thoughts sum it up accurately.
The reason I’m here is because of a sociopathic half native American alcoholic from Detroit. He was like that because of what happened to his people, and now I’m like this because of what “my people” did to his people long ago.
What comes around goes around. By God how I hate this f*cking country.
The violence is still perpetuated. Reservations have so many drugs it’s not funny. If I could go back and shoot Andrew Jackson in the d*ck, I would.
Yeah, screw America, eh. Bunch of hoseheads thinkin’ they got the balls of a moose for bullying and thieving.
What’s with the hoser that looks like a Florida orange for president? Geeze, you’s must have been thirsty waiting in the poll lines on voting day eh?
Franklin Roosevelt: “The only thing to fear is, fear itself.”
Abraham Lincoln: “Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, can not long retain it.”
Donald Trump: “One of the wettest we’ve ever seen from the standpoint of water.”
How can we go wrong with leadership like this?
Hi
You said everything I wanted to know about USA.
I’m not American but like you I’ve felt poisoned by every breath I’ve taken in my country. I hate everything in here: culture, people, their behaviour, their proud, all this hypocrite toxic ignorant stupid country.
Thanks for sharing your post. It’s good to know someone else is also smashed by his country’s weight.
Did you know that Mexico invented the color TV? That’s right. If you’re viewing this in color, thank a Mexican.
Also, in 1812, Canada burned down the white house. It’s true. The president went yelping down the lawn, crying like a schoolboy who just had his juicebox stolen. Now America is just overcompensating for all the wars they’ve lost over the last two hundred years.
I totally agree. My opinion is that America takes other countrie’s inventions and sell as created by Americans.
Frankly, I can’t think of a reason to be fond of my country, too. (I don’t live in USA, though I traveled there several times.) No nation’s innocent or pure. Not all nations have been held accountable for the notorious crimes they committed. I guess we should just put up with it. The nation in which I grew up doesn’t represent who I am. What I think of it is more important.
America is like the internet. A good idea, full of great opportunities for advancement and progress, but overrun with so. much. sh!t that you gotta unplug yourself and get away lest it kill you.
I think we should put America in prison. It sounds like it’s done some bad shit.
In a SPA and in a prison to get in good physical shape (as most are obese and ill bc of obesity in USA) and think about its own actions while in prison…
:p
Ha ha ha
Totally agree! ^.^
I love this country. I hate a lot of the things it does, but I love the fact that I have the freedom to protest whatever the fuck I want and not have to worry that my family is going to be taken in the middle of the night and sent to prison (or worse).
I love the fact that they took my great grandparents in when all they had were a few articles of clothing and a couple of kettles to cook in.
I love that we have deserts and waterfalls and everglades. We have mountains and canyons and flat, flat land.
I love that we have all all races, all religions, and a thousand points of view. I love that I can vote, even though no one is bustin’ down my door looking for my opinion. I’m glad I can work, that I have had a good education, a job. I have clean water. Access to medical care if I choose to avail myself of it). I have access to transit, to interstates, to parks, libraries.
I love this country. We need to relentlessly pursue good in order for good to manifest.
