After thinking about this myself, I’m starting to feel the same way. Instead of being proud of the country, I’m feeling like I’m just another wallet that companies and the government are trying to suck all the money out of.
Always have been, always will be.
The cost of living is going up, the housing market is a nightmare
Don't worry, once they deported or killed all the ~~Jews~~ illegals the prices will surely come down.
You're not a wallet. You're an automaton producing value for capitalists.
They dribble a little money into your wallet each fortnight so you can buy subscriptions and delivered take away.
Yeah I’m just sick of all the greed and racism. I just want some MANSA (Make America not suck anymore)
I would like MANA (Make America Nice Again)
I live abroad, so I can just ignore the whole stupid thing. 😄
I thought you guys don't celebrate it that much any more? Heard it got replaced with a Trump Birthday Military Parade Day or someshit. And it sucked so much that nobody is doing holidays anymore. Sorry, I'm in Europe, the news are coming in slowly from the US these days
Not sure what you're referring to, but the 4th hasn't really changed. Maybe you're confusing it with the (laughable) military parade Trump did for his own birthday?
Personally I've long found patriotism to be a pretty abhorrent concept, but I've always enjoyed the opportunity to spend time with my family regardless. To me, the 4th is much more about community than it is the country. And while this country is fucking awful, I do have a pretty great community around me that I'm grateful for.
I'm celebrating Happy Fireworks Day!
I've got new neighbors that are probably about to hear, "Fire in the hole!" unironically for the first time. You can actually see the shockwave from my blackpowder signal cannon. Good chance the cops show up.
I usually use the cannon to vaporize 10oz of kerosene for a nice mushroom cloud of fire, but I'll have to see how it goes.
I'm a pyro.
Y'all wear safety glasses if having bottle rocket fights or roman candle duels.
Best day to begin taking your country back. Too bad the couch is so comfy.
Oh goodness no. America has fallen, what the fuck does July 4th mean.
I think you mean No Kings Day.
I’m very proud to be a Californian. I’m utterly embarrassed to be an American.
I'm feeling patriotic enough to burn US flags and I'm not even from the US!
Canadian here. I spent most of July 1 in bed! Was not feeling patriotic! Did not watch any fireworks.
We used to have porch lights twinkling in red, white, and blue all July. This year, we're just flashing blue adamently. And that only because our lights can't radiate black.
Family is doing a get-together but if I hear any patriotic bullshit, I'm gone, but with them, it's unlikely to even hear the holiday they're gathering for mentioned. They just needed an excuse to party.
How many will die on July 4th? What parade will be targeted? Who will be the next mass murderer? Stay home for your safety people. Too many crazies out there now to do anything in public.
I don't even like to call myself American. I'm a veteran, and it turned me off of America more than anything.
I've decided to actively take the flag back from conservatives. There are some good ideals and good people in this country, and good people who fought for those ideals. I'm not proud of most of what the government has done and all of what it is doing now, but I can be proud of the people who want to get along with everyone and fight for diversity and freedom and the good things that should be fought for.
Me, but not from USA, so....
