    I cringed at the part “pledge of allegiance” and then again at “kindergarten”.

    Americans don’t realise how north Korea style that is.

      Couple of years back i stumbled over this video, which i as a german think is absolutely fucked up: https://youtu.be/DjX7zoFrd7g?si=6BtMIxqTxtdAYHvi

      Quote from the Wiki about the “Young Marines”

      The creed that every Young Marine lives by is:

      • Obey my parents and all others in charge of me whether young or old.
      • Keep myself neat at all times without other people telling me to.
      • Keep myself clean in mind by attending the church of my faith.
      • Keep my mind alert to learn in school, at home, or at play.
      • Remember that having self-discipline will enable me to control my body and mind in case of an emergency.

      Its absolute insane what they do to this kids: https://www.instagram.com/means_tv/reel/C7T93trOtg3/

        Fellow german here, if you want even worse ick, look for “Jesus Camp” on YouTube.

      Oh we do. We often recognize it while still in school. But you learn quickly you are not allowed to question it. If you don’t follow orders, you will be disciplined.
