When you spot CNN's fake news, just show her the raw footage for the truth to out

Since if identity is not a part of a man, he has nothing of value to fight for outside of his physical body

My mom knows the MSM is lying and faking

That's not the issue

Her sources are more sophisticated

She falls for the old "I gots a fancy title" trick

You'd have to be more specific, identity meaning nationality. Cause most of us not living in your countries identify as our nationality, not ethnicity, 72 genders, sexuality which are the most shallow of "identities". Even character/practices (which ends up as a stereotype) does more to identify what we are

Nationality is an obvious, objective part of identity

Fancy title like new york times?

You're born and raised in a place, that place has a name, thus you can give yourself that name

Even this simple and reductive understanding of a national identity should be easily accepted

But somehow marxists manage to program that out of people

My brain doesn't comprehend that, how are they doing this, it drives me mad

Yeah

School, then media. I've always found that western media is so..tame and full of "safe spaces"

If your citizens don't see the horrors other people in poverty/war (contextualized as inter-region war, not of your country's doing) go through, it makes your people take forgranted their own... privilege for living in a safe country

I agree

Complete disconnect from the men who protect us every day

Or devaluing of their lives

Maybe your countries need mandatory civil service

It has

I don't know if my mom did civil service though, she was raised in Germany post-WW2

I'm Austrian, she moved here

America still has? I thought you had to sign up to be in the military

I'm talking more like reserves

South korea has half their population as reserves

In Austria we have mandatory civil service if you don't want to do military service

You can avoid both if you have an illness or you're considered invalid

Yeah, more countries need that tbh

I agree

And when I say that, you know it means something

Cause I'm an AnCap, at least morally speaking

Like, even just normal civil service should do wonders with community/nationality building. Help physically build new community infrastructure, housing, teach or feed foster/impoverished children

Yeah

For all the leftists love to posture about "doing good", most of them don't even volunteer

Getting in contact with the existing community and its ways, and giving them some of your time and other investment

I mean how are we supposed to even argue that we live in a society if we DON'T do that

The most distant strangers are nobodies to us these days

So they come up with an imagined society in their minds

Right

More easily shaped
