Unfortunately, most of us are idiots. The thing that really bothers me is that here in America, you usually have to be a special kind of idiot to be successful.

its just strange the types of people that are in this video are the ones that are the first to say they are against facisum and would go on about nazi deth panels and how bad nazies were , and yet they are doing exactly what allowed for the Nazi party to get into government in Germany and creating a situation.

the army guy shouting at the protester dosent have a clue at all if he invested some brain power into it he would realize that the protester is supporting his dead brother and being arguably more patriotic than a soldure thats simply following his juty for a paycheck. ( not that all troops are working for a pay check but i bet most are)

I couldn't agree with you more. It's very upsetting and I am totally unsure what anyone can do about it.

*Quality showing of the effectiveness and influence of propaganda on ones life. A perfect example of how nationalism and patriotism can be dangerous. Basically judging one's own group above another and therefore that other group being of lesser value based on the greater value you put on your own group. In that way patriotism isn't a lot different than racism. Just the degrees you feel your group is better than the other.

Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it. ~George Bernard Shaw

There is nothing new about pitting race against race or peace-nick hippy against patriot. All of these tactics are useful in shaping future generations. Governments have been using this phenomena for centuries. Opportunists.
