      Exactly, we get randomly born in a spot on Earth and then we are supposed to feel love for our country? Why?

      Is there anything to be proud of for each country? All I see is politicians trying to gain popularity by lying, wars being started and finished with lies and propaganda, and citizens being generally unhappy and ignored.

      I’ll happily through throw as much shade at my own country as I will any other.

      I’m more likely to throw shade at my own country because I am more informed about the goings on of my own country. If I were to talk shit about France, I would just be talking out my ass. I have no idea what’s going on there.
