    This is said like its some sort of privilege to stand for the national anthem and not just social pressure to.

    Joke’s on them. I wouldn’t stand for the anthem anyway. Anyone who declares loyalty to a country that doesn’t care about them is a moron.

    What they are saying here is, all of us are victims of America’s racist past, whether or not your family was around when slavery was an issue. It’s just sort of a snarky way of saying that.

      if this is propaganda, it’s kinda shit cause i have absolutely no clue what it’s even trying to say, or what kind of ideas it’s trying to push.

        I have to assume it’s about Nikki Haley and her dumbass remarks on the Civil War.

        Like, if you’re going to pretend you don’t have to think about or acknowledge the bad parts of American history because your family wasn’t here yet don’t try to get Patriot Points ™ for talking about the good/prideful ones.

          Yeah, and more generally speaking the Kremlin’s social media propaganda is trying to divide Americans, and other democratic countries, by creating/emphasizing differences and decreasing unity.

          “True Americans” vs “new Americans”, emphasis on multiple negative aspects of the US’ history, etc. Divide and conquer in an age of anonymous social media having serious influence over democratic governments.
