I think there should be some distinction between being grateful or having appreciation for things we are given or for the people who came before us, & things like actual achievements that we might take pride in.

Words are messy tho.

But it's similar to when people say "we won" after they watch sports... All I can think is mf you didn't do or win anything.

When it becomes socially acceptable to take pride in things that you had nothing to do with, lots of really sad & ineffectual people pump themselves up with weak associations to stuff outside of themselves & then become tyrants... See the woke movement.
