Patriotism?

To me, it seems a dreadful indignity to have a soul controlled by geography. ~George Santayana

I have no sense of nationalism, only a cosmic consciousness of belonging to the human family. ~Rosika Schwimmer

You'll never have a quiet world till you knock the patriotism out of the human race. ~George Bernard Shaw

Patriotic jingoism is but a means of controlling the sheeple, without their awareness of the true state of affairs!

If all else fails: Play DEAD

True Jabber I guess you could say the same for all religions Yes?

Well said.

As matter of interest (mine anyhow )I forgot where the actual word jingoism came from so I just looked it up.

"jingoism"

The context of the coining of jingoism was British foreign policy of the late 1870s. The prime minister, Benjamin Disraeli, had a plan to send gunboats to halt the advance of the Russian fleet out of its own waters into the Mediterranean.

This gave rise to a music-hall song, written in 1878 by G. W. Hunt. It had a chorus which went: We dont want to fight, yet by Jingo! if we do, Weve got the ships, weve got the men, and got the money too.

Opponents of the policy picked up on the word jingo and began using it as an icon of blind patriotism


Bloody Brits, eh?

Study Hypnosis. A lengthy study if done correctly. Answers all those questions. Like drinking coffee. Taste bad at first and then it gets better until you can't live without it. Dogs clean out the cat box unless behaviour is changed. Patrioism is a learned condition.

very true Iceman - I can remember as a boy I was proud to be par of the british empire and boy were we evern conditioned to be patriotic from Nelson to the charge of the light brigade -- Stupid assholes and I was one of them sold my soul at seventeen. aye er eh? Haven't got a patriotic bone in my Body ___ my native country Canada has been turned into a multi culture shit house
Thanks to quebec liberals and their jewish immigration minister's policies -- taint my counry anymore Its the fashion model for the new world order of Fiat.
Thats how come we haven't been depressed as bad as the USA -- we are the Fiat sample for all the world to wittness compliment of the Jew press.

There seems to be more and more that are realising about Learned Conditions so can unlearn, but sadly they remain the few.

Hope I am wrong....
