No one should be proud of where they were born
No one should be proud of where they were born
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 feel lucky about where I was born. I won a birth lottery, but I believe there are other places that have bigger lottery jackpots.
Is this actually an unpopular opinion?
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
That's not compelling "proof", this assurance that you (an internet stranger) are "almost certain", to be entirely fair — and the fallback on hyperbole is a dead giveaway for how your own confidence in that statement is lacking. All due respect.
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.
