Comment on I am an American. I used to be proud of my country. Now it feels like a turd circling the drain. Is there anything going on behind the scene that America is actually doing good in?

I appreciate your earnestness. But speaking as an American artist, your country absolutely has the same caliber of talent and creativity. It just doesn’t have the Hollywood dollar attached to it. I don’t even know where you live. I can say that with my whole chest because creative expression is an inherent part of being a human being. You can’t suppress it, control it, or sell it for long without it rebelling against its constraints. Or shouting itself from the literal rooftops.

I think that’s the most valuable thing in the world. You should look into locally produced art and cinema. I guarantee you your local arts college has an independent film festival.
