yes, we know how cuckoo pants the US pledge of allegiance sounds, please keep things civil.
mine had it, when it was a fascist country. we stopped with that creepy bs as soon as the dictator was dead.
Spain
got it, thanks for the context.
Brazil had it during the 21-years USA-backed military dictatorship. I think it went on for another 8-10 years after that, but then it was removed because it was recognised as a nationalist and fascist practice, incompatible with democratic values.
The Brazilian Constitution states in its fundamental principles that “all power emanates from the people”. The people don’t owe allegiance to the State, because the State only exists as the will of the people.
I always found the adversarial relationship between USA people and the Government very strange for a country that likes to position themselves as the pinnacle of democracy.

great point.
This sort of thing kinda fell out of fashion here in Germany after 1945. Wonder why that was?
There must be something in the literature…
I dint even think North Korea makes their children pledge allegiance to their flag daily.
South Korea has an official pledge of allegiance!
doesn’t look daily, though
Looks a lot like it’s a (mainly) military thing, which would make sense given their mandatory service.
Certainly seems like it isn’t a daily indoctrination ritual lmao
