From my outside perspective, it's the pledge of allegiance.
Do you really have your kids stand up every morning and swear an oath to your flag? That's some real cult shit.
Nothing could be more American than that pledge: it was something that was first propagated by a flag company that was trying to sell more flags.
And then berate them for thinking that the ideals espoused in that pledge are real in any way.
I had a teacher in elementary school that taught us that when a flag falls on the floor, you’re supposed to kiss it.
Yes, seriously.
It was just part of the normal flag-worship we were
taughtbrainwashed with.I was taught that if a flag falls on the floor you are supposed to burn it.
That is "flag law" but you also aren't allowed to display the flag on a T-shirts, in any disrespectful manner, or a fuckin pick up truck and yet. here we are...
Let's not even get into flag shorts and bikinis.
Hey! There's nothing more patriotic than making people horny for America
