   @Griffith @BowsacNoodle @sickburnbro @mischievoustomato >America as an idea and Americans as a people suck.
   nailed it. I'm no longer looking for "fellow Americans," I'm looking for other people of my nation that yet not exists.

     @veff @Griffith @sickburnbro @mischievoustomato I get what you're saying, but I think there's something in "Americans" that's largely suppressed because we've not had to fight for a while. Real Americanism is hidden by whatever skin suit we're wearing now, and the closest thing to it are the militia LARPers who will die off before the country collapses.

     @BowsacNoodle @Griffith @sickburnbro @mischievoustomato I imagine americana will still exist, but aesthetics are the least of my concern. It's like saying "Italians aren't short fat mafiosas, the Sicilians just ruined their image" when Italian as a national identity is nebulous. They have Lombards, Ligurians, Venetians, Florentines, Romans, and everyone in between.

     Generally the people who willingly brand themselves as american have little in common with my values. I'd rather look for the Appalacian Warriors, the Wild West Cowboys, the New England Whigs, and the Southern Rebels. They are my brothers, not "Americans."

     @veff @BowsacNoodle @Griffith @mischievoustomato This is kind of saying "we need like what the US was at the beginning - a bunch of friendly brotherhoods"
