I agree Art - ( or "Joe" as it were basis your effin' crazy-ass sky-dive... haha)... Rather than lock, stock, and barrel (off-the-current-shelf) "patriotism," which is most obviously manipulated and twisted out of context to no end these days, how about considering TRUE "patriotism" - as it were, as the disciplined adherence to a simple set of natural laws, which are clearly defined in the constitution, bill of rights, and declaration of independence, that it was intended to be. All of which, have obviously been abandoned most treasonously...

Given such reality, I can agree with you on the one front that - yes, indeed ... "fuck the current lean toward this false patriotism narrative," however, there is a truer definition thereof that most certainly requires respect of the utmost. Do give it some deep thought and see where you arrive thereafter... Much love, brother...
