National Songs/Anthems At Public Events

[jaF0]

News item popped up this morning about a columnist objecting to these types of songs. I tend to agree to an extent. Rather than 'patriotism', I see 'indoctrination'. One (of many) reason(s) why I no longer attend sporting events, public meetings, etc.

I wouldn't try to force their end, but they won't get my money either.

Of course singing the anthem is indoctrination. So is not singing it.

Training is everything, everything is training.

The columnist objected as part of the worldwide movement against nationationalism in favor of globalization. You will see and hear more and more of these articles over time. We are meant to view ourselves as individuals first and foremost in order to subvert out ties to our country. Your anti-patriotism is a result of a decades-long subversion campaign.

This, by the way, is the real reason why trannyism is being promoted so heavily.

I understand paying the national anthem at international events when people are specificely repesenting their country. Or at like special occasions and national holidays and stuff.

Do do it willy-nilly at every damn occasion when there's a large enough gathering of people is something else. At some point it goes from patriotic pride to cultlike and creepy.

You don't attend those things because the national anthem is sung?

So what, maybe 2-3 more years tops before Fourth of July becomes some type of 'racist' holiday?

There used to be something called pride in your country and celebrating its freedoms.

But that was before society devolved into the whiny little entitled never fought for a fucking thing in their lives generation.

And I retract that the fourth will be abolished, it will always remain so you fat lazy slobs can stuff your face with food and have an excuse for it.

Anyone who doesn't want to sing a national anthem or hear one sung should get the fuck out of this country.

Then we could get back to being something other than a laughing stock we are now.

When I was younger, every movie performance, and every theatrical event, used to end with the playing of the National Anthem.

For movies, people used to scuttle out during the rolling of the credits to avoid standing for the duration of the National Anthem. As movie credits got longer and longer and interminable, playing the National Anthem probably stopped because there was no one left in the audience by the time the credits ended.

Sporting events about only gathering that O'Canada is played. And many times the American anthem too due to cross border team competition. More so at racetracks were individual Americans may be competing not readily identifiable by team jersey. When I was a young kid you would sing God Save the Queen too at school. O'Canada was not our official anthem until 1980. It was only in 1970 the Queen of Canada purchased the music and lyrics and placed it in public domain.

I attended school in Dayton Ohio for a couple of moths in grade 3. I did not know what I was supposed to do when American anthem was played. (was only 7 and there temporarily) I asked the teacher and was told just to rise. But I remember the snotty look she gave me.
