Millennial about to turn 41.

I'm tired.

I'm not particularly fond of my fellow Americans anymore.

And I don't have an ounce of patriotism left.

This country can go ahead and fuck itself. Which it appears to be doing pretty thoroughly. Dumbest fucking country in the history of the world if you take into account its wealth and influence compared to its quality of life and happiness index.

Weighing how much effort/money it would take to get Canadian citizenship and whether I have that kind of energy left in me.

I’m an ‘84 baby like you and recently I’ve been trying to remember when the last time I actually felt national pride.

I keep thinking maybe in the general upswell of national pride post 9/11 but that was probably mostly mob mentality and juvenile ignorance.

I am proud to be a Minnesotan though! When I’m abroad in the country the other Americans I meet seem generally decent but it just doesn’t feel like home if I’m outside of my state.

'81 baby here. My parents told me I'd jam along to Reagan's "Born in the USA" ads in my underoos with a tiny plastic guitar. I think that's the last time I felt national pride.
