    You are mistaking the American government for the American people.

    Who do you think vote for, and form the government?

    In a democratic country, the government is a reflection of the people.

      Most Republicans fell for the con. They didn't explicitly vote for cages and bombs.

      Also, the USA is not a full democracy.

          Not the weirdest, but I didn't realize this until it was pointed out.

          The fascination with work, and how one's employment or career is tied to personal identity. It's a basic conversation starter, "What do you do for work?" Not "What do you enjoy doing?" or "Do you have any hobbies?" or "Where do you go to relax?" Nope.

          What to you do for work.

          It's a weird question that is tied up in judgement and classism. And it's so normal here

              I was asked this while traveling in another country. I didn't have a good answer. FWIW, I don't own any clothing with any flags on them.

                  Wearing depictions if the flag is against flag code anyway. Not a legal standard, but if someone actually cared for real, they wouldn't use it as decoration.

                    My boss is a real asshole. I can't stand him and he doesn't pay me enough.

                    I'm self-employed

                        Code is for the government. The people should be free to celebrate the freedom it's meant to represent.

                            I really don't see how hyper-consumerism has anything to do with our cultural bias against foreskin that comes from our history of sexual prudishness.

                              Sure, but if they really had the respect for it they pretend to have, they wouldn't be wearing it.

                                It's an astroturfed topic, sold as desirable for esthetic reasons or as a BS health issue.
                                Only a hyper-consumerist society would promote unnecessary medical procedures.
                                And only gullible consumers would buy that.
                                Sexual prudishness is definitely there in your backward country but that can exist with or whitout foreskins.
                                Not the reason.

                                          A piece of fabric is not worthy of respect, the values it's meant to represent are. Disrespecting the flag against it's own code is one of the greatest statements of that freedom
