        Because it is not necessarily great to subsume your identity to an empire

            Why else would you speak of the US state as if you were a part of it, with “we” and “us”?

                    Lolol. No.

                    Not referring to when soldiers of our genocidal government is attacked as “an attack on us” is literally just not being a nationalist.
