I am not big on patriotism and nationalsm, but some degree of civic obligation independent of those things is just necessary for a functioning society. Not even some major high minded ideal, more just "don't shit where you eat" level stuff.
Patriotism is flags and saying fuck you to the libs, not doing the absolute bare
minimum.
Could have been ahead of everyone (not that it is a competition) in beating this thing. Ah well nevertheless.
