In most cases I would agree with you but I don't think you fully smell me bro. What I'm saying is that patriotism and religion in their most untainted practices are a detriment to society.

I mean, was National Socialism (Naziism) really anything noteworthy until Hitler? They weren't the first National Socialist country.

The real problem with today's society is that it apparently hates mother!, which is my favorite movie of the year.

You are correct, I'm not following. How do you mean?

Not really sure. But I guess that would go to the point I was making. Not to judge something because of its abuses it (or mostly because of it)

They are both sociopolitical devices that not only have been used to advance agenda but they exist to do so.
In terms of religion, the real power is in spirituality. Prayer, meditation, manifesting reality by way of faith in the unseen, karma, reaping what you sow and so on and so forth. Those things are real universal principles but when you hijack them by
attaching stories to them, sprinkle in some political angles and people start subscribing to it, we become lost as a race of human beings.

Sure! But why don't you ask me more specifically what kind of example you are looking for. I feel like I gave you examples.

I guess I'm just looking for you to be specific, I feel like your post have been very general.
Could just be my thick skull but I'm not picking up what you're putting down.

I'm not going to go in depth about religion because regardless of my personal perspectives, I realize that it works for some people, and I would never do that in a public forum.
You being someone who has been very keen on the concept of how labels create lines of division should be able to appreciate how identifying yourself as an______ (insert country where you have citizenship), instead of just identifying with being a person on this planet creates it's issues.
