I couldn't give less shits about what this country was "founded on". I am commenting you are anti-american because you are against the American people.
The same way that Woody Guthrie would use it
Which goes back to my point of "Depends on your concept of what American means"
In my opinion, being anti-american is being directly against the will and welfare of the American people.
And wanting to continue its reputation as a destructive power to the rest of the world.
And, until we get a government that isn't so anti-american, I say God Damn America.
👍
@Ben Garrison American means to be God Emperors of Mankind
now a MURICAN means to be Republican God Emperors of Mankind
tbh the only reason to support trump is because it will stir the democratic party up yeet
also @Kim's favorite central planner Jesus was a socialist *dabs*
there's a reason why this exists: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_socialism
heck this was written *by a christian socialist* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pledge_of_Allegiance_(United_States)
The god part was added in though.
"The Pledge of Allegiance, as it exists in its current form, was composed in August 1892 by Francis Bellamy (1855–1931), who was a Baptist minister, a Christian socialist,[10][11] and the cousin of socialist utopian novelist Edward Bellamy (1850–1898)."
the way the original reads "I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
has some underlying socialist tendencies and implies socialism brings liberty and justice for all and the unity of the collective 🤔
considering the background of the composer
i guess conservatives don't have a monopoly on christianity
Wasn't that tune always used in memorial related things and WWII movies glorifying america written by someone with Communist sympathies?
🤔 irony lol
Look at my roles and you will see why lol.
if you really want to argue conservatism separate it from religion. because for every part of the bible you can find that supports your conservative analysis someone could easily find one that supports the 'socialist' interpretation of the world
Religious texts are really easy to manipulate towards a specific purpose.
Objectively speaking though, Jesus could be considered nothing but a radical for his time.
"Religious texts are really easy to manipulate towards a specific purpose." Not really. Most are utterly specific unless taken out of context.
No not really.
They say one thing then say another thing.
It's all contradictory.
