When was the last time you saw anything from American education or corporate media that made you feel good about your country?

I think the silence speaks volumes!

Does this count?

Despite being bested by a bird, the Harvard students will go on to enjoy all the privileges an Ivy-league education has to offer them.

That is a real quote.

The day Elon launched those astronauts into space. However the joy was overshadowed by mass riots and looting, but for a few moments, i was proud we could once again reach the stars and achieved a massive technological boost at the same time.

Honestly... Probably back during the post 9/11 times around maybe 2005-6. Since then I have seen nothing but negativity. I am an immigrant here (now citizen) and I actually love this country and see in my regular life all the things that make it great. That makes me positive. I find it very sad that the negativity I see is from people that were born and grew up here, with the most opportunities possible, piss them all away and then somehow blame the country and everyone else.

The new space force made me kind of happy and positive because they are probably going to be investing a lot back into space research and actually going there.
