american nationalism is its own religion.

[hymnsofheresy]

the constitution is comparable to the Bible. read as if it was written by God, and is oftentimes considered indisputable 

the flag is an idol in which people literally pledge their allegiance to

patriotic anthems = hymns

the military itself is a treated like a priest class; the “laypeople” are expected to display the utmost respect for their pure existence.

indoctrination of children

displays of patriotism determines how “faithful” the individual is

presence of nationalism at different events (such as sports games, festivals, schools etc…) eerily resembles a theocracy

when someone chooses not to partake in a patriotic ritual, they are considered a heretic

the roof of the Capitol building is painted with a piece entitled (and depicting) “The Apotheosis of [George] Washington” by Constantino Brumidi, who had previously worked in the Vatican. apotheosis literally means becoming a god

The Laughing Heart by Charles Bukowski

your life is your life don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission. be on the watch. there are ways out. there is light somewhere. it may not be much light but it beats the darkness. be on the watch. the gods will offer you chances. know them. take them. you can’t beat death but you can beat death in life, sometimes. and the more often you learn to do it, the more light there will be. your life is your life. know it while you have it. you are marvelous the gods wait to delight in you.

I have lived in my body for years and still need maps and lights to find my way to how I feel.
