Yes, old-world Westerners look at America with contempt, probably because of it gaining independence from the U.K. False Leftist Westerners also share this reverential attitude for old-world Western countries, which is what I was talking about in the "Linguistic Decolonization" thread.
I agree we must embrace being American, but the ZC rightists, who claim to be "Americans", will (like us) praise the revolutionary war for gaining independence from Britain, but only because it allowed them to retain their Western identity (e.g. the stereotypical Judeo-Masonic "Murican", replete with burgers, beer, masculinity, etc.). So in a way, they view old-worlders as being insufficiently Western compared to themselves.
I would like to embrace American identity, but first, it must be disassociated from Anglo-Protestant Judeo-Masonic Western identity. On the other hand, conflating the two and outrighting discarding American identity would be playing right into the Duginists' hands, so I don't want that either.
