Samurai Sanders posted:Which other countries even have creepy nationalist customs like America does about the anthem and the pledge of allegiance? I think nationalistic symbol-worship is pretty out of vogue, these days. I'm assuming Tinsley's "much of the world" is basically limited to Middle Eastern theocracies, and as far as I'm aware those punishments have more to do with dissin' on the state religion or being gay or trying to have a free press than anything to do with national symbols. I've never heard of anything like he Pledge of Allegiance outside of the US, and I was sure it was a joke about WW2 or the McCarthy era. He's not wrong to bring up American Exceptionalism in this case, but it's not a point in his favor.

This whole insistence on the 'Jewish state' identity doesn't sit right with me and plenty of non-Jewish Israelis.

I will say, as an American who grew up saying the pledge of allegiance every morning in school, it might as well be gibberish. We start saying it so young that we don't understand half the words and fewer of the concepts, and it just becomes a thing you say, like singing a song in a language you don't understand. Even the name "pledge of allegiance" is just a blur of sounds and we don't generally think about it. "plejuva leejence" is like "elemenopee" I'm not apologizing for it or anything, it's an archaic gross thing that should be abolished, but most kids aren't very indoctrinated by it beyond a vague sense that the flag is important to adults. In fact, by middle school it's already uncool to recite it and the cool kids just stand silently. This may vary based on how much camouflage is being worn in the classroom at the time.

EDIT: See also get wet from rain. OF course these days I see flags get raised and never lowered, there's a full sized flag where I used to live that is up there 24/7/366

Iron Crowned posted:boy did adults get pissed if you let that flag touch the ground. Jingoistic gun nuts with pocket constitutions really really care about that one particular line in the flag code while ignoring all others. The rain thing is vague in that the flag code says it shouldn't be in conditions where it would be damaged. I know in scouts we were told that the modern interpretation of this is that old-style cloth flags come in during rain and synthetic materials can stay out. Both should come in in high winds. You only leave the flag out at night if it is lit by a dedicated light. Having guidelines like the flag code is good. Worshiping it like it is Holy Writ is dumb and bad.

gently caress all this respect and ritual, that's not who we are as a country. Print the flag on a paper napkin, wipe ketchup off your face with it, throw it in the trash. Cut one up and make a shirt out of it, spill ketchup on that one too. Get a million little plastic ones, stick them all over your house, let them weather and blow away. Embrace your true essence.

Because he doesn't do any actions! That's not an argument. Also the INaction figure should include a copy of Reefer Madness because he doesn't like pot. And you need to show him being afraid of pot because he doesn't like pot. And a beard because he sleeps a lot like rip Van Winkle! And be sure to actually draw him sleeping with a big beard because otherwise people won't get that he's like Rip Van Winkle and also label him "Rip Van Winkle" to be sure people get it! And, like, he doesn't require batteries because he doesn't move, he's an INaction figure! He's 'recused himself from batteries'! Also he's part of the swamp so put part of the swamp in there, like an alligator looking all happy and flipping me off because I hate the swamp and he knows it. And write that on the box "Not swamp resistant" or something cool like that! Also civil forfeiture is being used against WHITE people and that's just wrong so can we fit in a subtle joke about that? And explain what it is. But, in like, doll terms? Now THAT'S an argument!!"

The amount of ratty rear end old flayed American flags I see hanging up right next to a pristine confederate flag in people's yards annoys me. Mostly for the confederate flag part but also because they are the same people who'll get in my face about not loving this country enough. But mostly I just hate the confederate flag and those who wave it.

 I like seeing people from other countries at the Olympics enjoy waving their flag but also treat it like what it is - a novelty item to represent your people. We treat the flag itself as an important thing in the way that a Sovereign like a king IS the country. The flag code even calls it a living thing. Nationalism is gross.

We treat the flag itself as an important thing in the way that a Sovereign like a king IS the country. The flag code even calls it a living thing. Nationalism is gross. Canada certainly has certain similar aspects of nationalism - standing for the anthem, followed by a moment of silence was basically something I remember all through school, I think singing a long might have been something to do at younger ages but like that other person said by highschool no-one really did it. That said, you're right about the flag. I think most people enjoy it as a symbol and I'm sure there are rules and regulations on how to fly it, but I certainly never hear people acting nuts about it like some people do with the American flag. DariusLikewise posted:Canada just changed the national anthem to be gender neutral and all-inclusive and if you just talked to the right-wing people in this country you would think it is the end-times. Oh cool, didn't know that change actually happened. It was funny watching people on reddit try to use historical preservation type arguments, only to get told that this isn't the first time the anthem has been altered.

I'm just imagining the US changing its national anthem and what the American Taliban would do. Jeezus it might be grounds for revolution! Like, even just a subtle change like limiting it to the first verse, which is all anyone knows anyway, to remove the references to slavery - these people would lose their poo poo
