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!
Pol Pot is a patriot. Imperial Japan is a Patriot Regime used to commit mass atrocities. And so is Mussolini and Hitler.
To a lesser extent, Putin, Xi Jinping and Kim II Sung were OBVIOUSLY Nationalists (and American conservatives drool over their political model as they hate the person behind them).
The corrupt and fascist democrat administration of pedo joe biden has the majority of the stupid democrat party supporters supporting persecution and jailing of journalist and political adversaries, suppression and censure of inconvenient or incriminating information, use of overt propaganda on the populace and many other fascist actions. Democrats are the stupidest people around, they are far more fascist than any other political side in US politics.
