Ok. So, something of a conspiracy IMHO.
I see patriotism as one of the most ridiculous examples of brainwashing around. Only caring about the people inside your imaginary boundary lines isnt just tribal, it's backwards.
Honestly nothing funnier than a bunch of idiots staring at their flag singing their 'theme tune'.
Dont get me wrong, i like preserving traditions, but if your country is like a few hundred years old and founded on immigration it is pretty fucking dumb to be overtly patriotic. Not to mention the govt bootlicking side of it, which is of course, tragic.
I'm being facetious, hoping to hear both sides- i am definitely not a globalist!
Ooo looks like you pissed off a bunch of "patriots" with this post. And by "patriots" I mean barely internet literate boomers and outside nations pretending to be Americans in order to continue to divide us from within. But you're spot on. These are the same people that will kill over their preferred regional sportsball team and give 10% of their income to the pedophile organization known as the church. You know, morons.
Yep, not surprised. Cognitive dissonance. Was hoping for a bit more rationality but I guess too much butt-hurt for most, I kind of figured it would be.
