“Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism — how passionately I hate them!” —Albert Einstein
Patriotism is a load of utter bullshit, originally concocted by Napoleon Bonaparte, when he realized that sooner or later his conscripts would probably kill him, rather than the Germans.
So he whipped up a lovely inferiority case and started calling the Germans a bunch of Saurkraut eating sausage manufacturers.
It’s all a bunch of useless crap, and any person with half a brain will drop the concept into the same deep chasm of your psyche where slavery belongs.
And then proceed to base the rest of your life on rational and logical thoughts, rather than “They have a funny accent, let’s bomb them back to the stone age.”
Or “they worship our god in a slightly more flashy manner, let’s go crazy with snipers.”
Or the other billion stupid excuses there exist, simply to move blame away from your own country’s cloying incompetence and gross neglience.
And onto a convenient scapegoat in another country, like for instance Canada, who’s otherwise reasonably functional public healthcare system was deemed the great Satan of Committee executions by the Republican Party of the United States of America.
Who claim that the Public Healthcare System kills people who’s expensive to cure, which is utterly retarded, a lie and so wilfully stupid.
But what the hell else do you expect from a political system that seems to permit and encourage corruption, open corruption even.
So hey?
Patriotism sucks, it absolutely and unrestrictedly sucks. And there’s no hope in hell for any human being, who remain a Patriot.
