    Patriotism and “freedom” as expressed by Americans are concepts used to manipulate you and make you do things that are in other people’s interests, not yours. Here you are trying to steal some of the magic by cargo cultishly invoking the concepts, but I think you know it doesn’t work like that. In any case, it’s very cynical, both of you, and of those you are trying to ape.
