Re: National pride?

American.

Yes, in a sense. There's a certain aspirational concept of America that I am immensely proud of, principles that are linked to my understanding of what America can be, and there's a lot of folk history and culture that I'm proud of as well. At the same time, it's pretty obvious that America hasn't always lived up to those principles, and that's shameful and anger-inducing, and I'm certainly not going to defend any of that terrible, shameful shit. It's a story of two Americas, I guess, and I feel in myself that I have an allegiance to one of them, as long as some trace of it exists. Anyway, I couldn't imagine being a citizen of anywhere else in any real sense.

Does that make sense? I don't know. I'm sure I'm going to get a lot of people yelling at me. But it's honestly the way I feel.

I actually agree with this. There's a lot of things about America that I love. I just don't think the America we've got is the one we should have.

You said very concisely the way I feel about being American, too.

I feel very similarly for Korea. Love the history, culture, and the good ideals but the rapid modernization has left a profound effect on it.
