AITA for saying I love America? Pretty clear that I don’t mean the government or politics, but America separated from that. The people, land, culture, etc. For example it’s like me saying I’m not proud of slavery but I AM proud of Harriet Tubman ykwim

everyone acts as if slavery is the ONLY thing to come out of the United States. Mind u if didn’t even start here and it’s STILL going on in other counties

you had me then you lost me. the mention of tubman was very random and had no correlation. also, i ain’t never heard nobody say they’re proud of her but instead appreciative towards her and what she did.

Harriet Tubman IS politics so you’re not really separating the politics…

No you aren’t the a-hole. Left wing or Right wing anyone who doesn’t love this country or wants to fundamentally change it is an enemy. Our nation just like any other has its sins for sure, but what separates us from most other nations is we have done more good than bad. Happy 250th my fellow citizen 🇺🇸🦅🫡

you are tripping over your own words and ideas while seeking validation for your own thoughts.

It was just an example/metaphor to get across the sentiment I was trying to explain. Proud was maybe not the best word but I meant like America as in not the American government but the people that fight against it. I feel like the most American thing you can do is resist your government

When was I tripping over my words/ideas? Also I don’t think I’m seeking validation, just starting a discussion
