Opinion Is patriotism dying ?

[Trotsky]

"No one will stand up for this country! We need more patriots!"


-people who think wearing a facemask in public is too much a personal inconvenience to keep the country from falling apart

Oh sweet Jesus I had no idea I was talking to a fella that was touched in the head. I also mentioned the suffragette movement, but I am no woman. I also mentioned jazz music, but I do not know how to play a trumpet. Otherwise I would start a really cool ska band for like eight fans. Nowhere did I take credit for the work of those before me, that would be fucking retarded. I am honored by the actions of those Socialists, and I consider those actions inspiration for my own and how I choose to assist different labor groups today.

I'll not be distracted by your simple minded little distraction though.

Real dumb fucking statement you made there my guy.

You can swear and insult me all you want I won't be drawn into a juvenile insult competition.

I disagree. Leftist media does not represent or portray Americans accurately as a whole at all. A foreign entity trying to land on U.S. soil with violent intent would awake a sleeping giant indeed. There's a reason Yamomoto understood the folly of a ground invasion.



After watching the media during the Iraq war, I agree with this.



Because immigrants they are thankful for what they have. When you see leftists constantly destroying property or shutting down opposing viewpoints using any means necessary, they're taking for granted the freedoms and privileges afforded to them in this country. If they just stopped and thought about it instead of acting so impulsively, they would see a larger picture.

Agreed brother

Maybe I'm a little pessimistic.

You also won't be drawn into a historical discussion because we both know I got that one on lock. I think I only dropped five different instances of socialists being murdered for their part of the Labor Rights Movement. I got about twenty more incidences ready to go. Want to have that discussion? I've got 'em all queued up. Lets talk Socialists in American History and why you felt the need for quotation marks. It's a topic I'm well versed in.

I'm thinking now might be the perfect time for a dicktuck though.

Patriotism that isn't tied to the land, is a patriotism that's doomed to fail.

Most Americans don't even feel worthy of the land that they're treading on.

One can imagine that things would be different if America consisted only of natives who've roamed the earth for thousands of years. Patriotism would come as self-evident.

I'm happy to have a historical discussion with a mature adult. Got any of those?

 

[AndroidRage]

Wow you guys are really bad at discussion, huh?

Not as bad as your brain is at functioning.

You come off as a rambling mess, throwing random facts around, I applaud your ability to reference wikipedia though, did you google it or was it already bookmarked?

If you actually wanted to debate, you'd lay off the personal attacks but we all know that won't happen, you'd rather "win" and claim a morale victory then a factual one.

Incoming 10k word rant that has zero substance.

Sometimes “patriotism” even has a negative connotation...

It conjures up images of morons in small towns in Mississippi, etc.
It suggests that one is unpatriotic for disagreeing with the corrupt leadership (ie the 2nd Iraq War)
It suggests a lack of love for one’s country in those seeking positive change
It is quite blind at times

I love America.
But there are things that can be better and mistakes that have been made in the past.

The West's education system gradually convinces many young people to end up loathing and being ashamed of their parents/grandparents society and country. We radicalize the young and we pay people to do it for us.

We're those men "socialists" or weren't they? He said some stupid shit and deserved to be called out on it. To imply you're disgusted by me using the correct term is absolutely retarded. That poster was answered with the same energy he came at me with.

This is why China is taking over the planet as the lone superpower. A #BLM rally over there will give them an excuse to harvest more organs.

You're taught that everyone's colonizing roots at some point were a stain on human rights, it's just a mark of improvement through history that the barometers are set higher than pillaging -- and criticize it, reflecting back.

Recognizing crimes through history shouldn't make you a flaming asshole either, unless you're waging war out on the streets on behalf of it and looking a bit pillagey yourself

the culture is crumbling and eating itself...i often tell my students that i don't think they're americans...they hardly possess any traditional american values... many immigrants strike me as more in tune with american culture

My Lebanese neighbor, Mo, flies the Canadian flag and volunteers for various charities. While not devout, he's a Muslim and observes Ramadan but is adamant that we need to stay secular and is a free speech absolutist. He's not alone in his sentiments.

No I didn't. You misinterpreted what I said and then sperged out.

Nationalism is stupid and dangerous. We need to get rid of it and understand that at a core level , all humans want the same thing.

Be treated fairly, raise a family, education, and purpose.

so being proud of ones country is stupid and dangerous?

what kind of commie classes have been brainwashed by?

you and your mindset are what's dangerous.

i bet you own nothing and have never worked a day in your life either. a very strong entitlement complex.

thankfully the generation behind yours isn't as feeble and lazy.

There's more "historical discussion" in his first post itt than you've contributed in all of your posts on this forum combined.

Granted those don't amount to very much either.

Yes, nationalism and pride is stupid.

You can't be proud of something you didn't EARN. Being lucky enough to be born here makes you no better than anyone else. You could've easily been born anywhere else.

I own my home and have a martial businesses.

If you were born somewhere else then you'd just be proud of that other place.

No, you should be proud on things YOU accomplished or have earned yourself.

People who have pride in things they no nothing about or earned themselves is pretty sad to be honest.
