Enjoying a Nazi pop. - This is a good example of how Nazism infiltrated the entire German culture.

Flag car magnet. Flag car ribbon magnet. Flag stick thing you roll up in your car window. Flag matching shirt and shorts. Flag hat.
Flag everything.
I’m 100% ok with the singing of the national anthem, with public displays of flags on flagpoles but the constant rah rah rah flag waving bullshit is absurd and scary. Have you watched a NFL game lately? It’s scary. Throw a couple more books on the fire and we’ll have a good old fashioned book burning.
How is this picture different from the American Flag Budweiser can?
The flag is what we use to identify our country, it, as a symbol, should remind us of what our ideals are. Waving a flag does not mean ‘freedom’ or ‘liberty’ it is not sacred, sent here from god almighty to protect us from ‘not us’. It’s a flag.
And you know what? The next time I go overseas, I’m putting a Canadian flag on all my stuff because we’ve been a nation of crazy insane people for the last 12 years and I don’t want to get lumped in with the lot of realtree camo flag dudes or the republican, born again Christian soccer mom flag club or whatever.
When you can buy flag emblazoned stuff and beer cans with flags all over them at 7-11 and the liquor store, it’s getting into some weird, creepy damn near nationalist propaganda territory that I’m just not comfortable with.
