Well, for starters, the discussion is about OUR Fourth of July Event here in America,...in a thread titled, Thousands pack National Mall 4th of July 2019 Salute to America!!!.
So, for you, it all boils down to patriotism is pathetic which leads to sociopaths and that we're brainwashed and conditioned?
No, I disagree. In fact, just right off the bat through a simple google search (Ugh, I know right?), Sociopaths follow patterns of anti-social behaviors and attitudes. The vast majority of times many of them have had long histories of misbehaving. Societies in all countries face these issues and isn't the result of "Patriotism" or even a cause, not even a trigger.
You know, people celebrate their Patriotism in the 4th of July with SOCIAL ACTIVITIES. Like BBQs, get togethers and parties. Non of that supports your assertion that we're Sociopaths.
Patriotism, pride in ones country. Why? It's what defines part of our character as we live here, we work here and fight for "here". Here, in America.
I get it though, you have a problem with that.
That ideological school girl perception you have of a perfect harmony world is best left at the faith forums.
The world is dangerous and I've stated this a few times, if not us, someone else will and soon with enough force to enforce that will. It is our pride for our country, with which, "American military, economic and cultural power dominates the world" et al.
I bet that pisses you off? Though let me tell you, you’ve never heard of the biggest movie made by China or France this year, but they’ve certainly heard of “Avengers: Endgame”, hmmm?

AS an aside, I am down your way this weekend at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Celebrating powerful cars with lots of carbon emissions. So, well, I will try and have an organic beer or 10 to offset those emsissions.
AND, your gubment had a flyover for Queenie and Co on her anniversary of ruling over you peasants....I didn't notice you on any of those threads.

Sigh! Not very bright people in here!
I posted in here saying I hated militery parades. As for my own country, I have stated my times that I am not patriotic (thank God!)

It was a July 4th parade celebrating America’s independence. It wasn’t a military parade.

No, it wasn’t. It had cultural groups, high school marching bands, kids with yo-yos, police, firemen. Pretty typical.

I never said that. There was military there, rightfully celebrated. But it wasn’t a military parade.
Watch the parade for yourself, because taking someone else’s word for it no longer suffices.
Here’s a legit military parade for reference.
Never said he went out all north Korea parade, but I am sure that will come next.
