I said ott patriotism, things like flags in every front yard (or whatever it's called there), singing anthems at too many occassions,things like that. Imo, there's no need, you shouldn't need reminding like that.
And leave Marxism out of it, I actually witnessed communism as a child and its aftermath as a teenager, don't need lecturing on that. There's a middle way, you know, between constant flag-waving and communist utopia.

But Ts2 - the Americans have no history and make up for it with pageantry and razzamatazz. Hell, even Micky Mouse is celebrated.

I just believe 1,000% that Americans are our allies and friends and that we would be ****ed without them, yet they are unjustly despised by certain factions in this country, who seem to have no problem with some truly hateful countries who despise us.
