No, GIR. That’s bad. Giving an extra fuck about the place where you live helps combat things going to shit through the tragedy of the commons. The fact that toxic people have made am awful version of it doesn’t change c the fact that it’s a positive thing. Don’t let the cunts take it away. Please take pride in where you live, and I will take pride in where I live, and we can show off our homes to each other.

They are not taking pride in their local environment or even their fellow citizens. Pride in America is pride for the system that bears that name, the system of oppression, genocide, war, and death so that its masters can live in luxury. And that system is fucking disgusting.

In fact, pride for America requires putting America’s system first before the environment and its citizens it claims to represent. It is antithetical to “giving an extra fuck about” anything other than the evil machine that America represents.
We should take pride in what we do and create and believe in, not where we live. I’m happy that many Americans are realizing that there are many bad aspects of the country, and that it’s OK to admit that.

Yes, that’s what I mean by toxic people turning it bad.

But it was never ever good to begin with. America has always been the label of a colonial project.

You shouldn’t be proud of a location just because some ditzy cunt squeezed you out on a specific bit of dirt.
Be proud of what you and your neighbors do to improve the place. And if that isn’t enough to be proud of, do better.
