The American self loathing movement. Where do you stand?

I disagree. Race is the tool. They don’t give a rats ass about race. It’s a means to an end. Totalitarian government is the goal.

I agree. Race is the tool. I just worded it poorly.

So when you’re in a public place and the national anthem is being played do you stand? Or take a knee?

A better question would be, what does it now mean if you don’t take a knee?

“You think our country’s so innocent?”

What does that have to do with the OP?

Do you think any country is “innocent”?

There would be no freedom in the world had it not been for us.

This is a quintessential display of snobbish American arrogance. Freedom is a common human desire and plenty of countries have achieved it on their own without our help. Mixed with our good deeds is a lot of bombing of other countries and who’ve disagreed with us.

We cannot leave. Lol. Most countries are closed to us thanks to the bungled handling of Covid.

There will be a vaccine and eventually herd immunity.

You are then free to go where ever you heart leads you (well if you meet the requirements, that is).

I’ve never heard of this movement. I looked and looked and couldn’t find any information on it.

I don’t think any such organization exists. Sorry for your luck.

Are they related to the the People’s Front of Judea?

It really is. We are not responsible for all of the liberation in the world. Revolutions and rebellions in oppressive countries have occurred without our help.

I disagree.

The sentence that I was quoting in the post you replied to said exactly that. I called it arrogant and you challenged that diagnosis. So, your concurrence with me here sends a mixed message.

If you consider a loss in WWII, that may not be true?
