This is why being patriotic in America has to be the most mind numbing activity
Reminds me of someone who once said like, “The US is three corporations in a trench coat.”
Same idea.
i’ve been saying this, and Canada is just a front for the Hudson Bay Company
the settlers are along for the ride
thatcher was right
I thought having a national identity was racist, and now you’re saying we don’t have enough of it?
That’s a really bizarre binary you have in your head there
What would you say makes a country a country instead of merely an economic zone?
No, that’s not what they’re saying. They’re saying that America is not a nation at all. The material basis of American “nationhood” is liberal capitalism and settler colonialism. American language, culture, and national identity did not develop organically but instead was invented to legitimise the project. The solution to these people would be to abolish America entirely
The words “at this point” seem to imply it wasn’t always like this
That’s a fair point. America has always been this way since its inception
What do you think has held it together for this long?
Extreme violence, mostly.
