| Message | What is this travesty? We are witnessing fascists trying to retake their power. Government has no place in bed, market or whatever people pledge allegiance to a piece of clothing. This is not good. Why fascists? Because only fascists want people to be brainwashed by the state to worship the government. One thing is to pray to an imaginary creature but another one is to pray to an opressive and corrupt force here on earth. This is North Korea being made. No thanks. |

| Message | Nationalism is a disease, propaganda diverted by the state in order to gain easy brainwashed people to respect officials. That means that people will follow a boss not because he deserves it or that he really cares for people but because he just patriotic. This kind of shameful populism and appealing to patriotism and traditional values is horrible. |
