Ourselves or attempting to conquer someone else. But this revolving door of "conflicts" will never go anywhere

The thing about this is that the easiest way to neutralise trillions of dollars of US capital is simple: don’t get into an ‘actual’ war.

The US is basically not playing the game properly and demanding everyone ignore all the other victory conditions. Everyone else says ‘No.’

do you actually do the pledge of allegiance every day in school? and why
morelikeconsham
Sure did, and that's how it was in the 4 states I went to public school in. It's to brainwash children. After a Supreme Court case, it was

Rules that it was a violation of free speech to force everyone to do it (and the fact that it had to go to the Supreme Court to work out

Such a clear violation of free speech is telling), but if you don't participate, the teacher will publicly shame you and you will be bullied

By pretty much everyone (not just thugs - many "well behaved" students too) as not participating marks you as a lowlife.

It's part of the "America is the best" brainwashing they impose upon us from youth.

I only did it in elementary school and I honestly have no clue why we pledge allegiance. I assume is indoctrination.

The 'popular culture hegemony' of the US in films and music plus the fact that English is the 'world language' just fuels this even more.
