Pride should stem from good personal decisions or accomplishments given one’s situation and life circumstances. Being born somewhere isn’t a decision nor an accomplishment.

I’m almost certain if you shared this opinion in most places in the US, or if the US president said something along these lines, it would be taken very very badly. Unpopular on Lemmy? Probably not, but Lemmy is mostly far-left Progressive Liberals.
Hi OP, just a gentle reminder about Rule 1 (No Politics). In future please try and refrain from using adjacent terminology in this community, as present in the latter portion of this comment, as this may incite violations of other community rules within the replies
What is a “far-left progressive liberal?” Liberals are, by definition, right-wing, as they focus on Capitalism as their mode of production, as opposed to Socialism. The most progressive among liberals are probably Social Democrats, which I wouldn’t quite consider liberal. Social Democrats are people in support of Scandinavian style Capitalism, with generous social safety nets, and thus Center-right.
That’s to say nothing of Lemmy, which is definitely further left than that, ie Socialists, Anarchists, and Communists, the only far-left being Anarchists and Communists.
