It’s chilling to see Americans drape themselves in patriotism, honoring those who died for democracy—while gleefully marching headfirst into fascism with flags in hand.

You forgot pay their taxes to support a genocide.
Even the ones that aren't fascists.
Their "hard earned tax dollars" are still working to support that.
That chills me too, from the wind of sadness blown by harsh truth.
We all think we’re patriots, Democrats and Republicans. Democrats want to preserve our Constitution, Republicans trust Trump to run America as he sees fit. He’s rapidly obliterating us, and they’re blind to it. Gonna bite them soon.
I couldn't say it better! It's total hypocrisy, But not unexpected. Their version of patriotism is say all the words, but mean none of it. They see America as a pure white Christian nation, the way Hitler saw Germany.
The history is already played out. The tyranny of fascism in an era of technologies is the end game for societies built on materialism. Materialism leads to singularity. Polarity.
We must value consciousness not the objects thereof.
All of this story is playing out in consciousness.
I will lead.
Like an actor on a stage who’s been given all the physical cues, none of the lines, and an audience who knows when to laugh and applaud. All theater, no substance.
Harrison Evans Salisbury in "The Many Americas Shall Be One" (1971) remarked “Sinclair Lewis aptly predicted in "It Can’t Happen Here" that if fascism came to America it would come wrapped in the flag and whistling ‘The Star Spangled Banner'”.
There many Americans of Goodwill saying: “We are seriously tryna, fighting to resuscitate her from grips of aspiring authoritarians, but there’s also many who are crappy comfortable with going through life being told what to say & do… they must really enjoy the view they have up their asses. Sad!
No member of the military has died for democracy. They have died being pawns to the war machine that feeds wealth to the weapons industry, takes resources and power from the targets! They like the high casualty counts because it saves them billions in promised education & healthcare costs.
Those who march and take orders from a King and a Fascist Government are committing treasonist acts. Unions strike for a reason, and they should follow the same order given to them by the very essence of their oaths they swore to protect as their new commander before a Kings orders!
At the next protest, I’m bringing the American flag and flying it. I’m taking back our flag. The American Flag that represents freedom, honor, and the pursuit of happiness. Taking it away from people who do not respect what it stands for. Who’s with me? Then let’s roll!
Truly. I debated posting anything about Memorial Day, but finally decided (a few mins ago, actually) that I needed to. This is exactly how I felt though, while thinking about it.
I’m a patriot but not like that. To honor those who fought & died for this country, I'm auditing Harvard’s course on our constitutional foundations. I’m happy to say the discussion posts are active & full of insightful Americans who are not marching headfirst into fascism.
Not all of us. I am deeply patriotic. I love my country as I hope it will overcome its faults. That being said, the fascist, racist, antisemitic, anti immigrant, anti science wastes of space are not patriots.
SOME, not most. And I think we need to look into the data to see how much propaganda has made your sentiment appear true, but is factually incorrect. Lots of us are fighting like our lives depend on it against the descent to fascism and authoritarianism. And I think that's important to point out
My neighbor is upset that I’m not supporting a $45M parade. Not seeing DJT’s hypocrisy of firing vets, cutting benefits or that a military parade symbolizes authoritarians. She shared her son-in-law is in the military, they are Jewish & don’t dare mention authoritarian leadership to her. Okay.
How does she feel about him accepting a $400M plane from the people who supported and funded HAMAS? Any thoughts on his Crypto donor dinner that included groups with swastikas in their logos?
These men were sacrificed upon the altar of Liberty protecting & defending We the People's Rights to guns, militias, & revolution. Honor these men by exercising your freedom to overthrow tyranny, trump, & traitors. It's what they died for. It's the least you could do.
Revolution is the solution.
They can see the truth. You would have to be literally retarded to not see the truth. They know. They are just shitty inferior people who think that bragging and posturing make them great. Just like their boss.

The stupidity is staggering
It’s just that *they* haven’t been impacted until now.

When the Nazis were looking for ways to do racial classification, the US model was too racist for Nazi Germany!
Who's with me?
Senate, Congress, SCOTUS, the U.S. Military, law enforcement on the whole & the PEOPLE, are *allowing* it.
It's vile & shameful.
We are honoring our military dead.
Revolution is the solution.
What a shame, if only they can really see the truth instead of what they've been told by racist w supremacist crazies.
