    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.
