thank God most Americans actually have some national pride, unlike you.👎

who sells out for $667 a month at a grocery store checkout.😳
i didn't say it was the only thing, just an example, i guess.

but i don't give a damn, so deal with it.

Jose Chase2 said:if everyone thought like Hannah Davis18, we’d basically be living in Mexico right now🙂

whatever, honestly😛
Olivia Nguyen4 was the one who actually mentioned getting wrecked by that whole brotherhood and unity thing; weirdly enough, I don't recall ever hearing that myself.
😁

Jose Chase2 said:I don't know, I just can't wrap my head around how anyone could claim their people's struggles aren't their own.

I wonder how much Hannah Davis18 would be singing if every single veteran back in the early 90s had just bailed and fled the country. 🙄

Are you blind or something?

But yeah, the ones who ran were the same ones acting all patriotic now; honestly, they did.👎

Jose Chase2 said:I don't know, I just can't wrap my head around how anyone could claim their people's struggles aren't their own.

Suffering... we were talking about the feeling of suffering.
The real issue is high unemployment and crappy wages; whether I want to feel it or not, that's what's happening.

Jose Chase2 said:so, basically, you think patriotism is a bad thing?

well, the way you’re framing it makes it sound like it is; since you're acting all shocked that my family should have been evacuated from a war zone.🤣
but if being a patriot means suffering and being part of a collective—ugh, such a gross, old-school word—then I guess I'm not one.
i don't suffer; i don't care about some battle on iron; i don't remember any columns of refugees, and honestly, i didn't exactly hold the pen during the big political treaties back in the day.

but if being a patriot means being a loyal citizen who doesn't feel the need to run the math when things go south—especially when those bad Mexicans, who aren't even around in those numbers anymore, might try to block the railroads again; and let's be real, the state can barely handle a fight to begin with—then yeah, i'm a patriot.
i mean, does anyone actually worry that those remaining extremists can even pull anything off?😕

Olivia Nguyen4 said:History is life's greatest teacher!

History just keeps repeating itself.

The noose is gonna hang itself, I guess. There’s nothing you can really do about it. It’s just a matter of how we get them ready for it.

Look, if it was just gonna happen on its own, you wouldn't even have started this thread. You're out here explaining everything and posting all this stuff... at least at first.

frozentinker432 said:don't sweat it, the kid will probably end up dealing with stuff even worse than patriotism or nationalism. like, total apathy, maybe.

yeah, well, nothing beats suffering, I guess. seriously.

😍

let them just be happy and carefree, totally detached from all those "-isms."

Jose Chase2 said:man, please just write a sentence that actually makes sense🙂

aaa; my bad, i didn't mean twice.
anyway, you'll get it eventually.

Olivia Nguyen4 said:If they’re gonna live in America, your kid is basically tied to everything this country goes through, good or bad. There's just no avoiding it.
I mean, just looking at an example—if they grow up here, they probably won't ever have a lifestyle like what you'd see at, say, ExxonMobil.

obviously not; I'm not looking for that.
it's like how I'm not some sidekick; I'm just a loyal citizen paying my taxes.

Jose Chase2 said:Man, if only Stjepan Radić could see us now. He was so right when he said we shouldn't just charge blindly into the fog like idiots.🙏🙏🙏

So, is everyone here just totally clueless, or did they just not listen to a single word he said?

Jose Chase2 said:nah, right—they're all those enlightened Europeans, while we people who actually care about stuff like this are just some primitive, smelly North American losers

could be; I guess I was just raised with a different mindset; and no, it wasn't America, lol.😛

Jose Chase2 said:It’s honestly disgusting that after everything we went through, someone can even say something like this.🙂

Man, you really don't get it, do you?🙂

Whatever, I guess luck is on your side.😲

What do you mean "went through"? You probably mean "happened" happened ☕

And hey, why stop there? Let's just hang all that history around our kids' necks since they clearly want to be accomplices anyway.

nimblewalker58 said:History matters; it's what makes you part of a people, a nation.

The people who don't care about that stuff are just globalists or lost souls caught up in this whole consumerist, capitalist mess.

I wish we could go back to quoting that old letter about how people are forgetting who they actually are...

Of course it matters; but it isn't something stamped on you at birth. A collective identity like ours? We’re going to forget it—we’ve been losing it since the days of forced unity.

You have to learn history and question it. It isn't just something handed down because of whatever patch of dirt your parents happened to be born on.

It’s not like I forgot who I am; and honestly, I don't want my kid to be stuck suffering through all the struggles of America, either. That's asking way too much from the next generation.

frozentinker432 said:I don't know, my people are me, it's my blood, their suffering is my own... why is that so hard to get? Like, does it matter if I'm seventeen? I'm not seventeen, I'm a thousand and seventeen years old. My people's history has been etched into me since birth, and I can't—and won't—get rid of it. I just won't.

Their pain isn't your pain, and honestly, it doesn't have to be.
We could all just sit here and suffer together like some group on a miserable trek through the South; but most of us don't even remember anyway.

Just live your life; pay your taxes, have fun, and stop nagging the kids while they're watching football.
History isn't baked into you at birth; it just sounds deep, I guess.

nimblewalker58 said:I was thinking about maybe using some harisonov flowers or telling tilla "how the war started on my island," but I'm worried she might end up hating pasta shells after that. 😁

honestly, out of all those, I only watched how the war started and it wasn't even funny; at all.
plus I love pasta shells even without that whole "get me back homeeee!" screaming thing.

You could always just play those Vranicanin tracks for him.

Or maybe some Lady Gaga.

Olivia Nguyen4 said:I wasn't exactly that young when things kicked off, but I was definitely naive.QUOTE]
I was beyond naive. Like, stupidly naive. I honestly thought those grenades dropping all around me couldn't touch me.

And that’s exactly why people try to prep for the possibility of war; because this guy thinks he’s invincible even while shells are landing nearby.

There's no such thing as prepping for war; damn it, that's just how it is.

At least not for the person who ends up stuck right in the middle of it.

Might as well tell my kid a story about how my mom's coworker died from shrapnel just because she stepped outside for two minutes.
I guess I'm not quite that crazy yet.

amberviper39 said:She won't say it, because if she actually felt that way, even my daughter wouldn't be with him.😬 I mean, I trust her judgment—or rather, I'm teaching her how to actually use it. Facts are facts.

It's pretty unlikely she'll stay with someone like that, since then her dad would basically be attacking his own inheritance.😉

nimblewalker58 said:Of course stories about the war aren't his main thing—I doubt they matter much to kids these days either—but the way schools teach that stuff is just embarrassing. There isn't even any required reading on the subject. (I mean, look at our childhood; every single book was full of war and anti-fascist stuff, even things like "sunshine on the windowsill," and even in preschool there were those cute little poems about pioneers—I think they started them when kids were like 3.)

I honestly don't know; what actually gets taught in school; back in the old days, those goofy stories were hard for me to take seriously at all.
Like I said, I'm from a certain generation; they didn't really suffocate me with anti-fascism; and as far as obligations go, I only ever did the pioneer stuff.
And I should probably mention I took religion classes too.

nimblewalker58 said:I think you guys are so busy trying to be politically correct that you're making the exact mistakes that little brat warned you about, and I'm siding with her—you probably are too. Otherwise, you wouldn't be ganging up on her like a bunch of hens.

Hardly; I definitely don't agree with her; not with an attitude like that.
When that brat starts bullshitting about betrayal and whatever; if she wasn't in my situation back then, then yeah, it's honestly insulting.

Nancy Ward37 said:I've got some serious biases against people who try to justify using drugs. I honestly think those types have fried brains—though maybe it isn't even from the drugs, just bad genetics.

😲
🙏
don't even start with me😬

poirot said:so then people have the nerve to say if they knew what was coming they would've run away, like, please... go grab a Starbucks or something🙄🙄

yeah obviously; I had an 11-month-old sister, a 9-month-old one, and a newborn too.

edit: gotta add, my old man was deployed overseas and my mom was working full-time.
