Almost every corporation on Earth is "woke." If you are right wing and have no problems with anything outside of the government then your politics are absurd.
I found this link on a post over on the Army subreddit. Reading the comments, I think that these comments actually show why patriotism is so low. On one hand, all of the leftist grievance mongering has made the leftists hate the U.S. That shouldn't surprise anyone. Then on the other hand, the right can't stand the left and there's a general sentiment that its not worth sacrificing for someone you hate and hates you. Then there's the more general comments like how the U.S. is a gerontocracy by and for the baby boomers and boomers are content to screw over all of the other generations as long as they get theirs. Plus, we have discussed at length our own ideas here like how American politicians are bought and paid for by international finance.
That's a pretty good summary of the situation, and I thinks it hints at the crux of the problem. The real issue is that the people benefiting from society aren't the ones keeping it running, and the latter group are starting to wake up. As this continues the wheels start coming off the clown show and things start breaking down. If you wonder why we're starting to see signs of a societal collapse, this is why.
There's something very ironic about the fact that those benefiting from society the most, who have the most to lose from societal collapse, are the ones tearing it all down right now.
First the left-wing was demoralized/disillusioned thanks to commie subversion tactics (effectively creating "The American Left"), then the right-wing was demoralized with the final and complete takeover of all institutions by the left. Now all that remains is managed decline. When all the wealth has been looted and the gerontocracy - the only group keeping up the illusion of being patriotic "Americans" - is gone, the real fun begins.
the right can't stand the left and there's a general sentiment that its not worth sacrificing for someone you hate and hates you.
I'm not willing to fight for the Left, but half the country is the Right, and that's worth fighting for. I think probably 60-70% of the country is redeemable & capable of being led back to reason over time. The rest should be walled up in their blue cities to live in shit.
So completely off topic, but I was curious about what trade the guy with the flags was (I'm assuming signals), so I opened the image in a new tab hoping the filename would clue me in. Instead, the image is just a big tall stack of all the icons.
I'm not a software guy, but does Reddit seriously load in this massive image file for every user with an icon, then just crop it to the desired one? Is that not just a massive fuck you to bandwidth optimization?
Yes, that's a common method of inserting tiny icons on web pages. CSS is used to select the correct icon. The total image you're talking about is "only" 65k, so relatively speaking not too much of a hit on bandwidth. It's assumed that users are going to see many of the icons anyway, and there's a small overhead for every individual request, so sending the whole icon sheet at once might actually use less data.
For this reason I fully believe it will be protected speech to burn a pride flag within five years. All over the world you can't see an American flag at one of our embassies without also seeing the fag rag next to it, they are converging into synonymity.
Not surprised but to be fair they have been bombarded with how evil the country is all their lives. I grew up doing the pledge and my family was military. Plus I grew up in red areas so I was shocked when I first met people who weren’t traditional minded
If you let BLM run riot over the country, with the media attempting to rewrite history and constantly attacking the cornerstones of the country, while the media entertainment complex is adding fuel to the fire, and teachers' union are promoting CRT and anti-white bigotry, during which the borders are wide open, in order to implement the great replacement plan so that the DNC can recruit more voters.
Why on earth would you have any nationalistic sentiment?
The DNC is not only the biggest threat to the world but also to the country itself.
Morning Consult data showed Gen Z was least likely to trust the criminal justice system, health care systems, the police, the military, public education, and the science community, as well as generational lows for corporate America, Hollywood, Silicon Valley, Wall Street, and the news media.
However, out of all the generations surveyed, no group had more than 45% of respondents say they trusted any of those organizations—not baby boomers, Gen Xers, millennials or those from Gen Z.
Left wingers hate their country. Right wingers hate their government.
They actively fight for the destruction of the west. They aren’t apathetic. They are enemy combatants.
i mean, nothing about western governments even resembles the ideals promoted half a century ago.

Exactly. This is why I hate libertarians. They're cool with authoritarian tyranny as long as its corporations and not governments going it.
Only one does something about it.

Half? All of those are must dos.

A nation and a country are not the same thing. The American nation is gone, destroyed by demographics.
i really like this meme i saw on twitter a couple weeks ago
fag flag: this is the state
us flag: this is the nation

Yup. This is the sentiment I correct myself with anytime I think to myself how much I hate the current state of the US.
Liberals destroyed everything worth fighting for. They taught children to hate themselves, hate their history, and hate their country.
no loyalty to the zog
Why would they be patriotic? They never experienced the good parts of America, only the unraveling of it.
The most reliant of the sacrifices of others are the least patriotic, go figure.

A shitton of them are kids of illegals as well, so not as surprising.
Zhey are nihilists, elleand202! Zhey believe in nussing!
Generation Zyklon!
🙄
I'd like to say I'd fight for my state. As to whether I'd fight for Beltway swamp things, that's another story.
I reject the premise that all men are created equal, therefore I never was a true American anyway.
A big group of leftists hates how things are going because they're not getting worse fast enough to suit them.
Immigrants and their recent descendants have divided loyalties. White natives are becoming less loyal to the country that actively works against us.
Sounds ok to me.
