PLEDGING ALLEGIANCE TO A FLAG IS UNAMERICAN. The whole idea of America is that we have inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We are not subjects of a king that must bend the knee.
HATRED OF THE GOOD FOR BEING GOOD. That’s a big reason why many fans are rooting for the Eagles. It’s a common theme. Corporations that lead their industry are often hated. People that got rich by helping other people are often envied and hated. Even high achieving students are mocked by some. Candidly, I do that with the Dodgers. LOL. Need to self-check that.
ANTI-DISCRIMINATION VS DIVERSITY VS DEI? It’s interesting how this whole thing evolved. First progressives were fighting against discrimination… which had tremendous moral clarity. Then it became about diversity… not just opposing discrimination, but showcasing the value of including a wide range of input from different people. Now it is about DEI… which is pushing even harder to get more “marginalized groups” in to jobs and places of power… It’s no longer about fighting against discrimination. It’s instead about pushing different people forward, often without regard to merit. Meanwhile, the people that claim to support a merit-based system are doing themselves no favors by promoting unqualified or under qualified people into jobs and places of power. I sometimes will ask DEI proponents… what is more important? fighting discrimination or DEI? So far, I have not received a straight answer.
