Why the Flag? I don’t get it. Why not the Constitution?

Yes… why worship a piece of colored fabric and when you can worship a piece of paper with scribbles on it instead?

The constitution is still the constitution, when you read it from a website. It is still the constitution, when it is read out loud. It is the text and interpretation that matters.

So in terms of pledges it is the least troublesome symbol.

Allow me to rephrase, then.

Why worship a piece of colored fabric and when you can worship a piece of paper that literally institutionalizes the practice of slavery instead of abolishing it?

I guess that’s just not “troublesome” enough for the average white liberal, eh?

Oh i absolutely agree that it is bullshit. In principle a constitution however is a reasonable thing for pledges. Politicians, judges, military and the like pledging to uphold and protect their countries constitution is a good thing. (Now whether they actually do that is another question.)

Yeah I get that it is a symbol but like I said, the Flag changed often and I would have guessed that the Constitution would be a better Symbol.

But idk tho, I’m just some prick from Europe ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
