I had to take a friend of mine to her colonoscopy today, and this was the first thing I saw when firing up lemmy after getting home. It’s like the universe is committed to trolling.

It’s funny to consider “love of country” to mean “the food, certain people, and beautiful landmarks”, while simultaneously condemning the actions of its government, and like half of the citizens who live there.
Not that I’m criticizing, mind. I struggled with this myself for a long time before finally coming to the realization that this country is like a problematic family. You’re told that you should love it even if you don’t like lots of aspects of it very much. Like an abusive parent.
I’m in my 40s now, and I’ve finally realized that that’s bullshit. I don’t love this country. I used to, but I’ve realized that I only ever loved the idea of this country while the reality has been a profound disappointment.
The barbecue is good, though. So that’s nice.
Gotta go with what works for you. But as a fellow cishet middle-aged white engineer, you could not pay me enough money for me to want to move to Texas. Or Florida. Or most of the middle of the country. If I were in your shoes, I’d be out as soon as I had the means to leave.
I love this guy’s channel. Two of my other favorite things he’s done are: Uppest Case / Lowest Case, and that time he Reverse Emulated a NES.
