I’m continuously confused about why they think they are free, or at least uniquely free? What does the moon even have to do with that supposed freedom?
It’s a big part of our culture, it’s even in our theme song
Propaganda
What they said is a line from a song we are made to sing as children. They don’t really teach us about life in other countries, we have to do that ourselves if we happen to be curious.
You were made to sing that song? Gross!
Yep. From kindergarten to 6th grade we had to sing that along with a myriad of other similar songs. By the time I was around 13 I started to realize how weird it is and I began questioning everything I had ever been taught. Growing up, my parents made me go to a Catholic school every Wednesday evening so I had been taught lots of incorrect and distorted information. Eventually I began skipping class and I would walk around town and do whatever and that is the first time I actually felt free.
To conservative Americans the word “freedom” doesn’t mean the same thing that it means to you and I. That’s the simple short explanation for your confusion. It would require a much longer discussion to really unpack why that is and how it intersects with ideology.
I don’t think they’re trying to make a logically rigorous argument
The sun has bleached any color off that moon flag.
Which means it’s French.
Durka? Ooooooh. Not durka. Surrender flag.
It’s probably black not white at this point, not because of bleaching, which did happen, just cause of decay. At least that’s what PBS Spacetime told me
So pirates then?
