The US Flag is NOT a Symbol of Freedom

in patriotism •  7 years ago 

Nationalism is a disease. If you're willing to physically hurt someone over a symbol, you go against you freedom of speech you keep preaching about having, you go against the respect that you demand from others.

I have no problem with burning the flag, the symbol of made up freedoms, a symbol of aggression and death, a symbol of greed and tyranny. Not just for our country, but countries the troops invade in to enforce the same damn thing.

If you're upset by someone exercising their right to free speech and stomping on fabric, but not that the American police kill people everyday, three a day at the very least, or that your tax money goes to fund wars that are inexcusable, you need to take a good look at what freedom, respect, and what the symbol of the flag has come to represent.

I'll probably need to grab some popcorn for the upcoming comments.

Nations are formed of people with same blood, living in a same land and a common history, theres is nothing wrong just when some other nation want to overun yours and there issues arise, are you bad if your defend your house? your property? well nation it´s a common property of their citizen.

No two humans have the same blood.

Living in the same land? So how do you explain the existence of many "nations" on a single continent?

Those borders that define your nation were not put there peacefully. They were put there through criminals claiming the right to tax anyone who lives within "their" territory - territory they do not rightfully own.

My house and my property is legitimately mine. I traded money for title peacefully with the rightful seller. I therefore have the right to defend that property and any house that I put on it. My right to control the movement of others ends at my property line.

For example are mexican same as Unitestaters?
are French same as German?

there is some cultural, custom and common historical things several people have in common and some don´t, more beyond than etnics or race.
