Fuck patriotism! It is just another element of manipulation. I hate the idea that I am expected to support bullshit on the basis of the geographical location I was born and reside in.

I will always support the bravery of veterans, and I often contemplate the root of conflict, but damn.

I just don't subscribe to the idea of this team versus that team or the idea that since I was born in a place that it is the greatest place on earth.
