As an American I never really liked the holiday, (I agree patriotism sucks) but I wouldn't say it's that it really feels creepy other than the few people who really go over the top with it. Most people just use it as an excuse to barbeque and watch / light off fireworks (which I'm just personally not into)

Now for some real North Korea shit, look up videos of the “pledge of allegiance“ in schools. I was always the only one not doing it, but it wasn't until I was an adult that I realized how fucked up it is. Creepy as hell.

Same! It seems the obvious way to do it – starting with the one horizontal line.

I think this or the lefty version would produce the neatest stars.

Not in a relationship, but hypothetically yes, absolutely. I'd try go exert as much power as I could to make sure their rule is benevolent and try to convince them to create strong institutions that would become democratic after our deaths.

Now if my dictator gf started committing atrocities, I'd leave ASAP if I could do so safely. But I don't think I would ever be dating the sort of person who would use that sort of power for evil.

I think even music leans pretty hard to the left overall, just with the exception of certain genres.

I thought it was political at first, too.

There's a strong correlation there.

Yeah I feel like I see way more posts/comments complaining about Americans than ones by Americans being obnoxious or self centered.

I don't know. I think reclaiming slurs can be a good thing, (queer, for example), but that one is inherently violent and I always feel uncomfortable when I hear it. Like, there's a reason you didn't write it out in your comment.

Millionaires aren't rich, they're "well off". (Or maybe not even, it's possible to have 1M+ in assets and be struggling financially)

Being rich is a completely different lifestyle. Like you never even think about money, and get people to do your grocery shopping and stuff. Megayachts and private jets, etc.

It is absolutely a racist song. It's a "response" to Southern Man by Neil Young (great song btw)
