Between church, school, & targeted advertising my inability to focus has probably helped me subvert more brain washing than I'll ever really know. Maybe it's not so maladaptive in this dystopia? (sh.itjust.works)

I stopped saying the Pledge of Allegiance because I was hyperfixated on the Eragon books and it seemed too similar to swearing loyalty to Galbatorix.

    What happens in North Korea if they refuse to do something like the pledge?

    What happens in America tomorrow if we refuse to say the pledge?

    Tomorrow? Like Monday? Nothing happens if kids refuse to say the pledge of allegiance in America on Monday. They just don't say it.

    There's always tomorrow.

    You're pretending that America can't be turned into a place with similarities to N. Korea, when the wealthy and powerful are clearly trying to steer us that direction. Yes, it's perfectly valid to draw such comparisons, especially when we are using them as a warning for ourselves.
