Yet you advocate for worse conditions for your children as well as all children here in the US.
The fact you don’t think there is any value in being American and growing up in the greatest country in the world says it all. And it’s why your side will continue to lose despite “fortification”.
That’s your opinion. But as to taking value, I only take value in what it means to me practically. My identity as an American has no practical value, my status of living in America is what’s valuable to me.
