I was born and live in Russia, but since my late teens I've almost exclusively consumed English-speaking and specifically US media, including news. I don't find Russian news or media interesting, and sometimes I even hate them. But at the same time I can't identify with American culture (perhaps due to not having been born into it) and a lot of political ideas. Of course, both these giant countries have people with different beliefs, but I'm speaking about what seems to be at the forefront of national discussion, if that makes sense.

Mind you, one might say, that's the least of my problems, but I have a feeling one might term "disenfranchised", and it's not fun. Or maybe I'm just lonely.

Almost makes me wish I were a obsessive fan of some fantasy world, to be able to "share" that fictional country with like-minded people.
