Do tell me though dear Americans, do you identify more with your state or with your country as a whole? Do you think there is tribalism from your experience?
Do tell me though dear Americans, do you identify more with your state or with your country as a whole...
state first, then region, then the Union.
This
Honestly the standard for what is considered to be "American" is so low the chances of me having anything at all in common with someone the next town over are very low.
state for sure
I don't identify with anything because I am the superior cultureless MVTT
I identify with my birth state (aka the homeland) more than my country. My country more than the state of current residence.
For me it goes:
-Religion
-Era
-Birth state (MICHIGAN)
-Family/heritage
-Profession
-Gender
-My favorite animes
-Country
-Planet earth
-State of current residence
myself only
everyone else and everywhere else is shit
i love my city (chicago), the rest of the state sucks ass. the surrounding states suck ass besides a few certain cities. and i couldnt imagine having to live somewhere like alabama or nebraska or something. honestly i couldnt fathom living in like 75% of this country
Michigan trumps Chicago EASILY.
Base
I don't identify with either, basing your identity around where you were born is pathetic.
nah chicago is the best. i did have family who lived in a nice area of michigan by the lake and it was really pretty and nice, actually i like michigan, im mostly taking about iowa, missouri, indiana, wisconsin... those are hellholes. i lived in iowa for a couple years and wanted to kill myself. michigan is the based neighbor
>1.) Tiny Region/State
I identify more as a citizen of Maine than anything else but at the same time it's fairly regional since I also feel closer to neighboring Canadians in Anglo New Brunswick than I do to people in southern Maine
>2.) Region
Northern New England, Newfoundland, Gaspé, and the Canadian Maritimes are what I would consider my region and I think it should be a new country called New Acadia
>3.) Larger region
New England is what I would consider my homeland and when traveling I always feel better once I cross into New England as it feels like home
>4.) Country
I'm an American but I mostly dislike America do this is the last thing I feel a connection towards
>Profession before gender
Does that mean I can touch your boipussy if I pay you enough?
Thirded
City. Then country. Illinois is irrelevant outside of Chicago.
Can confirm, Chicago is superior to everything in the midwest.
t. chicago native
I consider myself Californian only.

the Union because I live in worst state
>minnesota
It would be independence in name only. Might result in slightly more autonomy but the states are too economically intertwined to operate truly independently of each other.
The country because I don't have a home state.
I fled Chicago. That place is a rotting corpse. If there is one place where shit will hit the fan first in this country it’s definitely there. The governments from local to state are in massive debt and will have to cut services to pay it. The people are paying property taxes up to their eyeballs. My friend back there missed paying 8k in 2017 and nearly had it sold as a lien. 57k people hadn’t paid for that year. Essentially the government is starting asset confiscation there, anyone staying in that city is asking for it. Worst out migration of any state, worst birthrate, I don’t even think a lot of Mexicans still go there for yobs because the economy there is taking a shit
There's lots of overlapping identities here. Non-whites here overwhelmingly identify along racial lines, they would see their city or state as being next most-important with their American nationality being of basically little or no importance at all. For whites it's the state or region they live in (New England, Midwest, south, southwest etc) as it's the contradiction that is most obvious in day-to-day life. But that can quickly change when they come into contact with actual foreigners, such as Jow Forums posters.
