      That isn't canceling. It is just boycotting. Cancelling is if you started to call venues and get them to not book him. Calling retail stores and demanding his CDs to be taken away. Canceling someone is when you take away a person's ability to make money by getting blacklisted in their industry.

      The citizens of the USA need to constantly remind themselves who they are with that flag . Is this because they are scared they might forget who they are without the prompts? In other countries, eg the UK, Australia, excess flag waving is disliked as being jingoistic, nationalistic and, frankly, well on the way to fascism. Literally wrapping a bible in that flag by a former and potential next leader of the USA scares us greatly combining two of the greatest war making elements together, ie nationalism and religion. It scares us non-Americans. It should greatly scare you Yanks too!

      @AtheismPoisonsEverything 5 місяців тому +1

      Exactly. According to atheist religion, there is not free will, and so, words like evil, sin, _shame,_ guilt, even words like forgiveness and remorse do not exist either. Therefore, what mao did to 70 million people was not evil, not a sin, not shameful and he shouldn't even feel guilt for what he did. He just followed his animal desires, because he had no choice to do otherwise, since he had no free will.

      @@AtheismPoisonsEverything It would be almost impossible for you to be more wrong. First, there is "soft atheism" and "hard atheism" and it appears that you know nothing about either. Second, atheism is not a religion, it is just a statement of belief about whether or not any god or gods actually exist or ever existed. Third, atheism does not address the issue of whether or not free will exists - let alone how to define it - but it does invite, in many cases, an accompaniment of secular humanism which does provides bases for shame, guilt ,and especially forgiveness and remorse. We believe in bad actors and bad acts and crimes and such and punishment IN THIS LIFE for such acts, not in an afterlife that probably does not exist after death in this one. To atheists, "evil" is just a silly word that describes nothing of substance let alone an origin. Although, "Good men will do good things and bad men will do bad things; but to geet a good man to do bad things, he needs to have a religion." As to Mao, he was a truly despicable human being, like so many others, but he did not murder en masse in support of atheism, contrary to so many religions which murder on bahalf of their probably nonexistent gods, He was a malignant narcissist with a Napoleonic Complex and an Machiavellian worldview (exactly like Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Adolph Hitler, Benito Mussolini and other despots), so his "evil" was a byproduct of his psycopathy. You really should use your eyes to read up on what you really don't have any knowledge about and then your head to try to understand it rather than using your ass to communicate your gross ignorance.

      They do live in a fairly insular echo chamber and a lot of them are open Christian nationalists but I did read a post yesterday (on Reddit so take with a handful of salt) from someone who says their family, specifically multiple Trump voters, all angry about the Bible hawking. I don't think anything is going to be the one thing that changes voters minds. But anything that does shift Trump voters will have to come from Trump himself and it will probably work on one section of voters at a time. So taking credit for the vaccine rollout lost him some votes, this lost him some votes. Same with his attacks on Nikki Haley. It's going to be a war of attrition with Trump doing the damage to his own campaign all on his own.

      When I was in the corps in the late 80s, there was a band playing that song in a bar just off base. All the shmucks were standing (a few holding the flag) and urging others to stand like it was the national anthem. I just shook my head and got another beer.

      A few months after I was discharged from the USN in 1984 after nearly ten years of service , my British wife and I visited my family (for what would turn out to be my final trip to the USA) and I heard this song for the first time. I found it manipulative and sickening. In retrospect, I see my bewilderment at how my family members thought the song was great as evidence of how I'd already got away from the knee-jerk, shallow, unthinking patriotism of so many Americans.

    I actually almost despise that song. It is so corny and lame. It is like has been stated here. To stir up patriotism. But what patriotism often does is create a form of ethnocentrism. I see people nearly worshiping a country, a song, a statement, a flag, and I find it undesirable anymore. And I think a lot of it has to do with how the extreme religious right are.

    Ah, "American Jesus".
    For the rest of the planet, "American Jesus" is a completely different character to the Biblical Jesus in everyone else's copy of that mythology book.
    Like, Biblical Jesus says "resist not evil... turn the other cheek", but American Jesus is loading up his shotgun to defend the Second Amendment.
    Biblical Jesus says "give unto Caesar what is Caesar's" but American Jesus is keeping his guns to fight the government for tax cuts. Because while the only time Biblical Jesus ever got angry and used violence was against the thieves in the Temple defiling his father's house, American Jesus is a free market capitalist - who loves profiteering - and fights the "communists" in government.
    Biblical Jesus says "let he who is without sin cast the first stone" and halts an execution, American Jesus has got the popcorn out, while he watches folks fry in the electric chair.
    Biblical Jesus asks his followers to abandon their possessions and follow him - "make not your treasures on Earth, where they will rust and decay, but make your treasures in Heaven" - while American Jesus is hording all he can, because the American Dream, baby!
    As Gandhi had it, "I like your Christ, but I don't like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ".

So much to say but just wanted to iterate that your perspective was enjoyed. And relevant.
