squats are healthy for you, smart fundamentalists!

This feels like an infinite power glitch. The paradox that happens after showing this picture to nationalist would probably solve the energy crisis. Which would probably make them angry, which would make more energy.

Who’s making these rules? Why do you need to assume a certain position when you encounter a special symbol?

Hoover ominously in the air in a crouching position of course.

Im imagining levitating Herbert Hoover.

Patriotism is such a terrible thing in general.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It can be alright if you think your nation's value are worth preserving. E.g. it is Patriotic to defend your country against a fascit invader that wants to remove your nation's self-determination.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I don't think you need to be patriotic to want to defend your country from fascist invaders. That's a purely practical consideration if nothing else.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

You can welcome an invasion as a liberation force if no patriotism is involved. Like the eastern front did in WW2 until they realized Nazis were more about creating Lebensraum.

Trying to explain the exact same thing to my parents. Challenge: impossible.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Same here. We gotta aim for the younger generations.

Anyone who has the USA flag on their clothing, vehicle, or other paraphernalia is someone who I will take pains to avoid.

Republicans love a thicc booty.

These people are good at mental gymnastics so it must make sense to them somehow.

All nationalism is brain rot.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Anti-colonial nationalism is fine actually. Not ideal but it is basically "everyone here regardless of more local culture should unite in a combined struggle to overthrow the oppressors" as opposed to colonial nationalism.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 7 months ago

At its best, nationalism in some forms can help unify people from disparate backgrounds into an imagined national identity. Unfortunately, most nationalism rots into division instead. Christian nationalism in the US, Hindu nationalism in India, Nazis in Germany. These all reject members of the physical nation in favor of their crazed fantasy version.

Like having cancer and AIDS at the same time.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I could be wrong, but wouldn't AIDS make it way more likely to get cancer? From my uneducated perspective, that seems like it would be a common thing.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yes. It is normal for your body to have some level of cancer cells, but the immune system constantly keeps cancers in check. As the immune system weakens, cancers are more likely to become problematic. There's even a group of cancer that is so much more likely to happen in AIDS patients that they're known as AIDS-related cancers.
