But id rather try to fix my country.

2019-02-25 20:12:33 UTC  

Or get a good job.

2019-02-25 20:12:38 UTC  

Even if not as paid.

2019-02-25 20:12:58 UTC  

Is there any reason you hesitate in that?

2019-02-25 20:13:12 UTC  

Staying?

2019-02-25 20:13:27 UTC  

Yeah pretty much the current state of the country.

2019-02-25 20:13:44 UTC  

No, why you hesitate in leaving.

2019-02-25 20:13:54 UTC  

Do you feel as though your security may vanish upon leaving?

2019-02-25 20:14:09 UTC  

I just like my country.

2019-02-25 20:14:31 UTC  

I feel at home here.

2019-02-25 20:14:40 UTC  

I understand.

2019-02-25 20:14:52 UTC  

But life is like really better just a country away.

2019-02-25 20:14:55 UTC  

In slovenia.

2019-02-25 20:15:03 UTC  

And in austria its way better.

2019-02-25 20:15:04 UTC  

For me; my country is so large that I will be able to go from one end of this continent to the other.

2019-02-25 20:15:20 UTC  

So even if I just run away tomorrow, I won't be abandoning America nor her people.

2019-02-25 20:15:52 UTC  

I mean americans dont really have such strong connection to its country or ethnonationalism in general.

2019-02-25 20:16:15 UTC  

Nor know how things work outside.

2019-02-25 20:17:44 UTC  

I feel like that is a poor sterotype.

2019-02-25 20:17:52 UTC  

Think of the situation America has been in for ages.

2019-02-25 20:18:05 UTC  

I mean you are the "utopia" everyon on the continent seeks.

2019-02-25 20:18:20 UTC  

A wedge of foreigners, forcing themselves into the lives of unwilling Americans.

2019-02-25 20:18:33 UTC  

We're made to fight our natural instincts to group with those like us.

2019-02-25 20:18:35 UTC  

From an early age.

2019-02-25 20:18:56 UTC  

We may have luxury

2019-02-25 20:19:12 UTC  

But this luxury means nothing; as we are truly missing belonging.

2019-02-25 20:19:37 UTC  

I mean europeans cant understand americans same like americans cant understand europeans based on the mentality of the people and when it comes to ethnonationalism its like 2 different worlds.

2019-02-25 20:20:21 UTC  

Europeans are often divisionary in their ethnonationalism. Wishing to create stronger lines. Meanwhile Americans have to both unite and diffierenate between groups.

2019-02-25 20:20:24 UTC  

American people seem to be more and more taking identity in politics and other things and distancing themselves from their country and nationalism.

2019-02-25 20:21:20 UTC  

We- Europeans and Americans - are distinquished groups.

2019-02-25 20:21:30 UTC  

Exactly.

2019-02-25 20:21:48 UTC  

This is true; however I think misreading Americans as ''culturaless'' and such is a bit too far.

2019-02-25 20:22:06 UTC  

Most of the people in america either distance themselves fom nationalism or identify as european nationalities rather than american.

2019-02-25 20:22:20 UTC  

I dont think you dont have culture.

2019-02-25 20:22:32 UTC  

Anglo- and German-Americans are the ones who don't ''hyphenate''.

2019-02-25 20:23:16 UTC  

The rest do. Although it doesn't really mean as much as you may think.

2019-02-25 20:24:08 UTC  

Outside of (some) Irish and Italian communities in America. Most people live as though they're just parts of the greater whole. While those communities may attempt to remain more distinct.

2019-02-25 20:24:55 UTC  

But those are *those* communities. Which do so for varying historical & social reasons. But it only takes one generation of children just calling themselves ''American'' and speaking General American for that divisional line amoung them to evaporate.

2019-02-25 20:25:13 UTC  

Sometimes it is done consciously, sometimes not. And... if you mean the census.

2019-02-25 20:25:17 UTC  

The census is the census.

2019-02-25 20:25:25 UTC  

I do think various ethnicities need ethnostates but yet work together as a nation.
