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.
Nationalism /patriotism is a religion, where the country’s identity is a god
Did You watch John Oliver recently? When You get American citizenship, they make You listen to a god awful, pro American song while waving tiny American flags. This shit is so cringy.
The play God Bless the USA when you complete Battlestations at the end of Navy bootcamp. There’s a projector and slideshow while everyone is standing in formation, receiving their “Navy” ballcap, officially becoming a sailor.
Looking back… Yeah, it was cringe af.
Yeah, but most folks are too tired to actually give a shit. They’re just waiting to get it over with so they can go to bed.
The pledge in schools is relatively new, I think it was passed under reagan or something. Your grandparents weren’t doing it.
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.
