  • It’s funny to consider “love of country” to mean “the food, certain people, and beautiful landmarks”, while simultaneously condemning the actions of its government, and like half of the citizens who live there.

    Not that I’m criticizing, mind. I struggled with this myself for a long time before finally coming to the realization that this country is like a problematic family. You’re told that you should love it even if you don’t like lots of aspects of it very much. Like an abusive parent.

    I’m in my 40s now, and I’ve finally realized that that’s bullshit. I don’t love this country. I used to, but I’ve realized that I only ever loved the idea of this country while the reality has been a profound disappointment.

    The barbecue is good, though. So that’s nice.

    I’m guessing he’s wearing the Steven Crowder shirt, actually. It’s got that same picture of Che on it, with the same font. If that’s the case, the shirt’s full message says “Socialism is for f*gs”. The “is for f*gs” part is underneath Che’s face, and so is obscured in this image.

    I would normally link to that shirt, but fuck Steven Crowder. Not gonna be responsible for driving traffic to that shithead’s website.
