>>2455980Yeah, because it actually makes sense. American statism is pretty strictly non-homogeneous.
Showing contempt for that only makes logical sense if you believe that you are actually dedicated enough as a human being in general that you should be disallowed from the act so as not to do harm. This is all predicated on the idea that any formal education truly worth remarking on is only going to be undertaken by the elite capable of utilizing it. Hence, those that would be smart enough to realize trashing the flag is idiocy or cowardice.
Unfortunately, Americans are pretty starved for identity. So you get every little fuck from Hawaii to new york chanting the anthem with dead eyes until they realize they are too young to understand the world they live in.
