But it wasn't written by an unpatriotic nihilist.
Oh, sure.
Patriotism and Nationalism aren't inherently bad.
Not in a vacuum.
They only become a problem when paired with policy.
Yeah
When the extent of your nationalism is: Do what I can to make this great nation better
policy written and instigated by fear
It's harmless, at worst.
When you extend that to enforce socialism, or some sort of purity standard, it goes a bit awry.
Bellamy took a backdoor approach to weave ritualistic nationalism into the zeitgeist.
He didn't do it through legal means. He did it through the education system.
Surprise surprise.
One good reason why decentralized education systems are a really good idea.
He actually published instructions for the pledge, etc, in educator's journals.
Sure enough, by ~~1931~~ 1942, it's put into law.
Really makes me wonder, in particular, about the shit being pushed in education *now*
and where that puts us in 40 years.
What about in 80 years? Maybe we'll be right back at ground zero.

This USB hub stopped working. I just showed my brother the value of going Office Space on crappy electronics.
Maybe it's because it has an arrow through it?
It used to be a USB hub like you...
o no
But then it got an arrow through the PCB
Ffs
I can't be a self-respecting archer and not make that joke...
