Am I the only one who thinks patriotism includes speaking out to help your country achieve its potential, rather than blindly accepting whatever you’re told?
Slavery wasn’t outlawed. It was nationalised. Slavery is legal for any person incarcerated for a crime. This is why we have mandatory minimum sentencing. The whole prison system is a method of acquiring free labor that the government pays you to house on metal beds and feed with slop. Alabama has made it an art form, leasing prisoners out to fast food restaurants, taking half their pay, and then refusing them parole.

Patriotism is loving your country and recognizing it has flaws, and wanting to fix those flaws.
Nationalism is when your country is the best country no matter what and any criticism should be met with mockery and ridicule.
Would that mean acknowledging that my ignorance is less valuable than your wisdom?
Yes? Then yes, you are the only one — now stop being a pussy and take these shots, we have to deprogram the “empathy” out of you.
That’s such a 1776 definition. Nationalism and xenophobia are so hot right now.
Look at the bright side, slavery was a thing in 1776, now just xenophobia. USA improved so much.
