Literally as an American there’s nothing to be proud of. We’re doing God awful right now and don’t even bother looking back in history for a time where we were cool, WW2 and beating the Brits in 1700s and 1800s was kinda cool, but both of those had a lot of fucked up stuff going on. Any era, USA is indefensible. Starts out by basically committing genocide against Indigenous peoples on a mass scale, deporting them to mere patches of land on a continent that they lived. Then the slavery and biased requirements for leadership and suppression of voting.Their Rampant Imperialism in South America and the East. The Evangelicals, the Blair Mtn massacre, May Day riots in Chicago. Then onto the Internment Camps, nuking innocent civilians, I could go on and on but you get the point, we’re basically the most dangerous nation on Earth with a bad history, not that any country has a particularly great history anyways, but considering how late the US did all that stuff, it’s pretty shameful in the short time that we’ve existed as a country.
