Patriotism and U.S. Empire

Subject: Patriotism and U.S. Empire Mon Jun 30, 2008 6:18 pm

Patriot-one who is zealously supportive of their country’s authority and interests.

Nationalism-exalting one nation above all others.

Patriot + nationalism = perversion + militarism = [U.S.]

Patriotism and nationalism are one in the same, and I am neither. The U.S. Empire has examplified the disastrous effect that happens when these combine. It uses reckless military action to protect its corporate interests, to expand them, to gain resources, to set up puppets, and to impose its will on the world. It allows atrocities to go unpunsihed, and willfully committs them (bombings of Dreseden, Nagasaki, Hiroshima, agent orange in Vietnam, strikes against civilians in Vietnam, massacre at My Lai and other massacres, airstrikes and shootings of civilians in Iraq). It also gives weapons and financial aid to corrupt and oppressive regimes in hopes of getting on their good side. It kills millions of innocent people in war and calls it “collateral damage”.

The government tries to cover up its crimes, to try and make us ignore them, by feeding us nonsense about freedom, by telling to say the pledge of allegiance and salute the flag, when they know full well we might as well be raising our arms and saying “seig heil!”. Another disturbing fact I left out, yhe U.S. has killed the most children of the past 100 years. Vietnam, 500,000-2,000,000; Panama, over 1,000; Iraq, over 300,000 and counting. Not to mention 1991.

They tell us “In God We Trust”. If God is bullets, bombs, money, and Halliburton, then yes. The U.S. has committed more crimes than any country I know.

I owe no allegiance to a terrorist government, one that invades countries and kills their people for money, influence, and oil. One that supports regimes worse than it is fighting against.

I will not accept the North American government until it is socialist.

Selfish war for money, influence, and “freedom” (empire) is not freedom, its tyranny.

Death to Tyrants.

Nationalism is a result of a patriarchal/male based authoritarian society.
