It just feels difficult to have meaningful conversations on here sometimes. Like yes I dislike America, but I don't need to act like nothing good has ever come out of it. Maybe China is better than America, but I don't want Xi nuking American cities. I don't think war is suddenly cool and good because Ukraine has some nazis in it. Not everyone I disagree with is some bumbling mass of idiocy, a lot of times we just differ on certain core values.

    Unspoiled natural beauty is the best thing about America. Had some out of county folks stay with us and they were fascinated by the variety of birds and thought squirrels were super cute and interesting. 🐿️

      As jank-ass as America is a country, truly the best thing they ever did was declare vast swathes of the country as national parks which would not be developed. They haven't been too good at not leasing over chunks of that unspoiled land to oil interests as neoliberalism has proceeded but still. Most other countries just don't have that much national park acreage unless the land is literally impossible to develop (thinking of Arctic Circle land here).
