The pledge of allegiance is stupid but it’s a non-issue. Everybody just rolls their eyes and blah-blahs through it.

The general point is right fucking on though.

The pledge in schools is relatively new, I think it was passed under reagan or something. Your grandparents weren’t doing it.

That’s not relatively new; it’s about 20% of our entire existence, with multipliers for technology gains.

This country is young, and we have been heavily propagandized for decades.

They made me do it back in the 1960s. I remember learning they added “under God” during the McCarthy red scare days

All of those things that the twitter person says we don’t have are definitely available and achievable in the USA. It’s nothing but a useless doomer post.

They shouldn’t be achievable, they should be human rights.

Nationalism /patriotism is a religion, where the country’s identity is a god

One of the few things that are good about growing up Jehovah’s Witness. Never did the pledge, and I don’t think I could recite it from memory if you asked.
