Yankee Malaise
The inherently self-defeating and negative attitude many Americans take when discussing their country abroad in the 2020s. Influenced by the decline of their long-term cultural hegemony and quality of life, alongside the toxic media environment of the United States.
Yankee Malaise can also be called Patriot Sadness, and expresses itself differently along political lines, with progressives taking a position of self hatred and conservatives taking a position of self aggrandizement.
