The only thing that resembles this ritual that I've seen was when I was a small boy and it was still Soviet Union, we had something similar in school. It went away and now the only country who does is the US and maybe N. Korea I suppose

like, if you spend time thinking about it it's weird and pseudo-fascist but it doesn't really affect anyone
yeah its like the confederate flag. it doesnt mean the south is racist and the pledge of allegiance doesnt mean americans are gonna vote in a pseudo-fascist president or start a war every 5 years.

I like how it associates patriotism with following a script and being authoritarian.

yeah but the pledge gives you a chance to be all smug and edgy in high school when you skip the "under god" part and say the rest of pledge out of sync with the class

I had a teacher who did this, except his thing was replacing part of the last line with "and justice for some."

If you substitute all instances of the words "flag", "America", "republic", "nation", "God", "liberty", and "justice" with the word "Hitler" it starts to sound pretty unsettling IMO

the best way to protect the united states against communism, the enemy of freedom, is to force everyone to take loyalty oaths on a daily basis, imo
