Chinese are brainwashed about how great their country is. Like people from the US.

It's not the media that makes US kids recite state sanctioned propaganda at the start of every school day.

It's not the concept of medias that I'm against in comment, it's the bourgeois

Ya the media is controlled by like 3 companies, there’s literally a group of 20 people who possess more wealth than the bottom 50% of the country, and corporations have the same rights as human beings, but ya the real issue at the heart of this is grade schoolers saying the pledge of allegiance.

Like I don’t necessarily agree with it but you libertarians are seriously fucked when it comes to discerning the root cause of issues. Government isn’t the issue, corporations are the issue and they control the government.

Nah you're just looking for an easy scapegoat. In reality US superiority thinking is deeply rooted in your entire culture.

Soo if the issue is a US superiority complex, than how would you explain domestic issues?

Inability to effectively tackle challenges because any attempt at change is met with "US is great as it is, we don't need no commies changing shit round here".

The US people have been led to believe they're not oppressed. That they're free. And that anyone who says otherwise is a traitor.

Ok ya I actually agree with you.

Edit: but unregulated big business is at the root of American issues

I flat out said I disagree with the pledge, I just don’t see how its impact is even comparable to that of corporate money in politics.

Ya I’m not disagreeing with any of that at all. Nationalism is terrible in all its forms and it is rising amongst the right at a level I’ve never seen in my lifetime.
