"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United Hates of America, and to the corporations for which it stands, one nation under Grift, unfalsifiable, with limited liability and justice for Capital."

The original Bellamy salute, first described in 1892 by Francis Bellamy, who authored the original Pledge, began with a military salute, and after reciting the words "to the flag," the arm was extended toward the flag.
Shortly thereafter, the pledge was begun with the right hand over the heart, and after reciting "to the Flag," the arm was extended toward the Flag, palm-down.
In World War II, the salute too much resembled the Nazi salute, so it was changed to keep the right hand over the heart throughout.

hmmmmm

The most propagandised population on earth.

I think I actually saw one of these irl.

I've seen so much nationalism and idolatry in this country that this weirdly doesn't phase me.

I must honor their memory™ by consuming the treats

of all the patriotic soda grocery displays, the twin towers / 9-11 one is the best of the genre.
