Protesting the National Anthem is just disgusting to me.
>>746210844
Get over yourself. All US citizens have the right to peaceful protest.
Don't tell me you're rectum ravaged over kneeling and also fine with white supremacists carrying Nazi flags.
They're both peaceful protesters and both are entitled to that right.
Pro Tip: Protest their protest by not watching the NFL.
Who gives a fuck. I never stand for the anthem because guess what... that's freedom, baby.
I'm from the US and I can't really say I have any respect for this flag or this country.
I can move anywhere in the world and live where I like. I'm not some hillbilly shithead who has never left his home town/city.
Grow up and see the world. Patriotism is just fucking stupid in 2017.

False, you would need to apply for citizenship in that country.

I agree. Being a US citizen has many benefits. For example, the ability to travel just about anywhere without worry of being harassed by the authorities of a given country.
Not that guy: That being said, I'm getting pretty fucking tired of watching people throw their trash out their car window on the highway or watching sacks of meat bash each other on black Friday for a TV. It really starts weighing on you when you've seen the lifestyles in Europe and Asia.
>>746211066

It's okay if you don't have a sense of patriotism, but is it really that hard to have some respect for the people who do? Some people just feel really proud of belonging to a certain place, it doesn't really hurt nobody if it isn't taken to an extreme.

Patriotism isn't just a sense of pride in your country, it's supposed to be a sense of shared community. Patriotism is an obligat ion to serve your country and try to make it better.
I think that's the difference. You're thinking of patriotism as something they sell to us with flags made in China and yellow ribbon bumper stickers. Youre right, that is stupid. But defending and improving your country is something everyone should be doing.
>>746211770
exactly.
>>746210844
they're not protesting the anthem though... it's just when they're doing their protest...
do you idiots really believe they're protesting the anthem?
>>746210844
I'm an Ameri-clap and I couldn't give two shits. I will always stand, but I know that while the country is great, out government is the most corrupt country at the moment. So if people feel better about not standing, so what. It won't change anything. It is just in the news so you stop looking at what is really happening around you.
>>746211770
Too bad that isn't the definition of patriotism in this country. Try opening your eyes
A dude was fingering a 19 year old autopsied corpse on here a few hours ago, but its the kneeling that OP just can't take.

What fucking logic is this shit?
>>746210844
If any of these ball chasing mongoloids had to explain why they are protesting, they wouldn't be able to form a complete sentence let alone make a compelling point. Here's an idea. You have access to millions of Americans via your social media accounts. Make your point there. Explain what you think is wrong with this country. You won't, because your fat steroid filled fingers can't type and you're likely too brain damaged to make an argument that makes any sense.

1) this entire shit is stupid
2) burning the flag is a perfectly legal way to be an attention whore
I did my 4 years in the military. These fucks and cucks are free to shit on everything they want to. You fags that have never risen a hand to defend their freedoms can fuck off. Go eat dicks or whatever pathetic permanent civilians get up to. Stop rabble rousing because some kids don't like the president. There's always folks that hate the president. It's fucking expected. Don't act like people need to get bent out of shape about it.
>>746211770
>Patriotism isn't just a sense of pride in your country, it's supposed to be a sense of shared community
LOL, unless that community contains niggers/jews/"commies"/SJWs/other people you don't like, right? Patriotism, like nationalism, is pride for people who don't have anything to be proud of personally.
>>746212275
>animal communities
somewhat, but not to the extent of man. animals have territories and maintain their spots through violence if there's an encroaching visitor. but they do not expand and conquer other tribes for their resources.
>nation
just another word for tribe. man has been doing this since their creation, but it has always been with a close-knit community, to expand that community or help their people in some way.
>>746212128
>Look at the bigger picture
>"Hey guise it's nationalism what's causing all the evil in the world!"
Yeah, right, because no war has ever started because of economic reasons, personal decisions, or even worse, drugs.
Being proud of the place you were born ≠ Justifying any war.
All I'm saying is have some respect for the people who do feel proud, I don't care if you feel it too.
>>746210844
OP you're a retard.
>>746212557
>have some respect for the people who do feel proud
Why should anyone respect people who haven't earned any?
>>746212557
>personal decisions, or even worse, drugs.
drugs is a bad reason to go to war? in attempt to oust those supplying the drug, or to take over the resources? I would say petty personal reasons is the worst reason to go to war (see: Trojan war).
but anon's right... it comes down to nationalim most times. it's an "us against them" mentality the state builds up in its people regardless of their ulterior motive. they're usually started in some greedy attempt at taking what is someone else's by force, for your nation.
>>746212557
Not the anon but I think you see nationalism as different things. He see's it as isolationism and inward thinking, you see it as protecting your own. In reality I think you can be nationalistic and still want to do well by others, but often nationalistic movements follow the mantra of 'I'm alright Jack' and I think that's what the other anon was suggesting.
>>746210844
Hurr durr national anthem hurr durr. Fucking idiot. Culture is an anachronism. Religion is an anachronism. Nationalism is for motherfucking sure, a total anachronism.

Not the anon you spoke to, but by your standards I'm extremely patriotic. I volunteer for social/environmental causes and I push for political reform both for the betterment of my country and country men. That said, I don't think I agree with the idea that respect for certain groups specifically needs to be part of it. Respect for others is nice, but not part of bettering one's country. I hate my flag and I hate my national anthem and I often hate self proclaimed 'patriots', that doesn't mean I want this country to burn or to shit on people for thinking otherwise or anything.
>>746213070
if the news didn't cover it, it probably wouldn't be discussed again.
>>746211066
A country requires patriotism and nationalism in order to survive. If the entire country doesn't have either of those things, why would ANYONE fight to protect this country? If no one fights to protect the country, why would it survive foreign invasion or even survive corrupt leaders that no one likes? The first thought would just be to abandon the country when it gets bad because you have no sense of loyalty to it.
Someone without patriotism or nationalism will only fight to protect their loved ones on a personal level. And then if that's the case, they might as well just go to Canada if things get bad. People like you will just doom this country.

This reminds me a lot of the "you need religion to have morality; what else keeps you from stealing and murdering?" argument tbh. I can want to help and improve my community and all those things just fine without patriotism. I live in a bordertown, so half the people i consider my community are not from my country. Lack of patriotism helps in such a case.

I do understand the point, that's why I said that being proud isn't a valid reason for justifying a war (even though it happens)
>>746212753
I wasn't even talking about nationalism to begin with, it was the other guy who brought it up. And I do understand the concept, maybe it isn't the most accurate word to describe what I'm trying to say, but it comes close.
If someone feels proud of being born in X place, let them be. I do not think that being proud of the place you were born in has to inmediately turn into you starting wars with everyone else, or not being able to have some respect for those who were born in Y place.
>>746213306
UK, proportional representation and issues around corporate taxation/status as entities.
I hate my flag an national anthem because I only ever see it weaponised. It's never the symbol for anything positive, it's used to either virtue signal ('LOOK HOW PATRIOTIC WE ARE GUYS') or attack certain groups. Don't hate someone hanging it outside their house or whatever, but in it's official usage I think it doesn't represent the values I align myself too and so I don't understand why I should be proud of it. Same for the national anthem, to love either for their ties to the UK is to ignore the context of their use for the sake of blind patriotism.
>>746213244
when there's a firewall on all media that basically just push USA USA all the time, it's not uncommon for its people to be unaware of worldly atrocities...
most Americans know very little of the outside world, because the media doesn't care to share all the things going on outside, because that doesn't bring in the ratings (viewership). pop news, scandals, whatever everyone is upset about atm... those are the stories that bring in viewers and money and profit.
of course someone from america that doesn't know what's going on in Venezuela or Somalia or wherever else is going to think their government is the most corrupt, because they don't have much to compare it to.

I watch plenty. and you seem to have no idea what is meant to "expand".
all other creatures are bound by their territories. a timber wolf cannot hunt in the desert. likewise, a camel cannot swim to the arctic. both of these creatures have specific areas on the planet they evolved to be best adapted for. chimps, macaques, bonobos and gorillas (and other primates) are probably the closest thing to man in their territorial disputes. but they do not war with their neighbors because one has access to cinnamon or salt the other desires. if they war, it is merely for territory and the right to survive. this is not expansion, it is survival. man is the only species that goes beyond its needs and takes for the sake of taking.

It depends on the context.
Globalization is a process by which people, states, and non state actors become increasingly interconnected through the proliferation of communications technology, global trade, and political unions.
However, globalism as an ideology is a different thing, advocating the dissolution of nations and cultures in favor of a global state and global culture. When someone has no attachment to their country or people and could "live anywhere" they're espousing a globalist view.
>>746213195

I do not support feminism at all, but I don't go out of my way to talk shit about them. In the same manner that if someone talks to me about feminism I don't go "WELL I GUESS I'M GOING TO YELL NOW BECAUSE THAT'S NOT DISRESPECTFUL, I'M JUST NOT SHOWING ANY RESPECT HAHA"

You're an idiot. They are actively kneeling to disrespect the anthem. They started standing, and went out of their way to show disrespect. It's active, not passive, making it disrespect, not lack of respect, you dotard.

Little reason? They routinely kill unarmed people who are just trying to keep their lives from falling apart. Through direct fire, or remote/drone strikes, etc. There hasn't been a draft in recent years, so they all signed up to participate in murders. Most of the military conflicts the U.S. has participated in over the last century had more to do with economics than "freedom" for U.S. citizens.
I save my respect for firefighters and non-militarized first-responders who are actually trying to help people who need help.
Fuck the military. Just a bunch of armed goons, killing innocents for nothing because it makes good TV.

Not showing respect at a situation that demands respect is disrespectful, simple as that.
>>746215539

>>746215855
