Always found Joseph Plumb Martin's Memoir of a Revolutionary Soldier interesting that way, he was palpably bitter and hostile towards the US government, general populace, soldiers outside his unit and officers inside...but still somehow loved the US.
that, I think, makes a lot more sense. the problems with the United States are rather more specific than just having the quality of being the United States. Everything there is to be angry or just not to like about the United States is contingent on other information, not an ontologically necessary property of being the United States. Capitalism, on the other hand, is a rather precise description of a large amount of what people tend to find awful about living in the United States.
I'm quite certain that most Americans like their boss and their job and only feel that way about the federal government. I can do the legwork on this one:
Most American workers say their boss is capable, confident and fair
55% of U.S. workers say their manager or supervisor is excellent or very good to work for.

How Americans View Their Jobs
Most are highly satisfied with their co-workers and manager, but relatively few feel the same about their pay or opportunities for promotion.

Americans Trust Local Government Most, Congress Least
Trust in government institutions remains below historical averages. Americans trust local government the most and the federal legislative branch the least.

Perhaps your personal internet hell is not representative of reality. Seems like people wanting power in the hands of the people and places they like is perfectly logical.
Yup. Actual leftists, not LARP'ers who yap a big game on the internet, but couldn't walk down a street on Sunday without tripping and falling onto a neoliberal politician's gigglebits.
Beginning to think that wealth acquisition isn't a meritocracy
Oil executives have been directly drafting executive orders for Trump to sign in exchange for $1bn. Including of course repeals of the (already inadequate) green initiatives Biden passed.
