Mentally Resentful 2.0 - Does your Country make you Vague or Special

Just wanted to Add that, In a Country like Australia It's more Generic/Minimal/Vague It's University, Entry Job's, or TAFE Diploma's or Construction Dead Beat Physical Labour Career's, with a Inability for Religion/Spirituality/Conservatism and Traditional Taste over Modern Democratic conditional, This Country Is disgusting with Sexism, Racisms and Misogynism too
In the United States Of America, It may be worse for the Average Person, Beneath the Hollywood or the Higher Payed better's - But In the U.S., They have Innovation with Scenery, Politics, Climate, Dialect, Materials, as the U.K. with Comedy, Music, Actors, The U.S. has Expression's, Brand's and all such thing's, They are the Western Image, Fore front, Market, Net Work and Nation of Maybe more, They are the Expand of discussion's and Open Mind Society, They may have Ignorance, but their not Arrogance and Narrow Intolerance as Australia, I would never say Australia doesn't give better General Standard's, But If you care more about Individuality and Non Conventional Aspiration's, Australia feels like a Bully when you understand my perspective,
I walk around Australia and get the Conflict of Sensitive National Pride Masculinity resenting me for Wearing American or International Non Aussie Sporting Merchandise, There Is a Blend between Anti Americanism and a Smaller Ratio of National Insecurity, but not actually Jealousy In relation to International challenges and concerns, Rather for Mainstream Trend's and Entertainment and Culture
Every Individual likes Nationalities Based on Numerous Factor's and It's Subjective, Patriotism of Birth Is Conformity and Vague Acceptance, Rather Traveling should be encouraged
Every Aussie Is as Selfish for their Flag as the General American

Hi
I am a little unsure what you are wanting to say. Are you just venting and if so do you think you were able to say what you wanted?
America is also individualistic. Some might argue success at all costs.
Each country has strengths and weaknesses. While there might be some truth to your argument that doesn't mean we cannot improve either.
My only other comment is that those who shout the loudest are heard. Ie. We hear the extreme views... and the majority go unheard.
So to answer your post title I would answer... neither.

I guess it's hard being a foreigner no matter which country you find yourself - racism? or mistrust? or maybe just the vernacular which leaves a bitter aftertaste.
I sense you have had a bit of a 'run in' with some anti-whatever people (some just love to find disgruntlement with anything outside their (narrow] comfort zone).
This is a good place to express what got under your skin more specifically. Perhaps the notions of some don't necessarily apply to the collective. Happy to hear your thoughts either way.

No I was Born and Raised as an Australian, I'm not generally Anti Australia, Their Is many aspects with America that I resent more than Issues In Australia. I am perhaps a Socially Avoidant Personality, I'm Introverted, could of been a Ambivert If Society was more Peaceful and Understanding, same with most other Introvert's, To be seen as Socially Inept, Rather than truthfully Socially Selective
Every Country has the Pro's and Con's - As you said, I can Agree
I know everyone has their In different View's, But sometimes a Narrow Perspective could be Interpreted as that through a Dis Believing Ignorant In different Understanding
Again I was Just merely Venting, I'm not overly debative, Everyone's different

Hey Draven, great to hear back from you and I respect your need to express your point of view.
I think every country has its share of skeletons in the closet that underpins the attitudes of its inhabitants - curious that it still manages to impact cultural/societal norms (I guess we will always be the children of our parents), but it is refreshing to know that change rests with people such as yourself to decide what they will and will not abide by.
