    The entire idea of fighting “for your country” is ridiculous to me. It’s not my country.

    Almost the entire human race has no influence on the events that occur at all.

        This is how they keep humanity not moving forward. By making us focus on our differences instead of our similarities. An eternal conflict that never ends, preventing our species from focusing on other things than war with itself.

        Exactly, we get randomly born in a spot on Earth and then we are supposed to feel love for our country? Why?

        Is there anything to be proud of for each country? All I see is politicians trying to gain popularity by lying, wars being started and finished with lies and propaganda, and citizens being generally unhappy and ignored.

      It’s not my country.

      Yep… it’s always “our country” this and “our country” that when they need you to play cannon fodder - and when it’s all over, it just goes straight back to being their country. No different than rich people telling us how we’re “all in this together” during COVID.

        It’s cute how they tell everyone we can just go vote to have a lot of influence on things too. :)

        As if any of us has any influence on what’s going on whatsoever.
