I'm, despite being European, pro-American. It's just that what America has become disappoints me much like it disappoints most Americans. I'm not pro this America.

The government has always been responsible for some shady shit, but for a long time there, the US stood for diversity, not against it. Yes it took a long time for certain types of people to receive equal rights, but that was unfortunately the same pretty much everywhere else too. Big American metropolitan cities are huge melting pots of culture though. Go walk around NYC, it's awesome once you get far enough from Wall Street. I do hope I can one day still go to San Francisco as well, but despite being a white cishet male, I don't intend to visit the US unless the current admin is replaced with a sane one.

Anti-American is fucking weird.

How about get to the root that most of us here have in common? Even half of the Americans agree with the below principles.

Anti-consumerism for the sake of consuming. Anti-greed. Anti harming others for your own selfish gains. Anti-billionaires. Anti-waste and harming the planet.
