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!
If you truly believe in what your country stands for then it is a great thing. Your culture and history can be something to be very proud of, especially if your ancestors participated. As an American our country has strayed so far from the reason the Revolutionary War was fought and the principles the country was founded on. We are at a point where there will be a great reset one way or another. Either the country will snap back to what it once was, probably after much suffering and bloodshed, or it will be destroyed.
