I have a theory that national anthems are bad by design. If its a good song, there's no patriotism in liking it. Its a bop! Of course you like it!
But a bad song, a bad song is ripe with opportunities to flex your love of country. Its a contest! Look at how brainwashed I am! Look at how much I'm moved by the bad song!
That's why you'll never see any national anthem on anyone's ipod (Hendrix excluded). It sucks by design
No bugs are bad. Let them bite you

Most of the stuff I don't 'get' comes from really good places.
Like, I don't get all the hyper-specific labels for gender and sexuality, but I'm so glad we live in a time where people are able to actually talk about that sort of thing openly.
Same with mental illness. I'm always baffled when young people will just tell yme they have autism or anxiety or ADHD or whatever because when I grew up that sort of thing was so stigmatized you never told anyone. It's a good baffled though. Like, go you for saying that. Don't say it at a job interview, but go you for saying it.

Very condescending advice. "Get more racist" is American politics 101

If I wanted to troll hexbear, I'd reply to post about China with "I totally agree, but they need to legalize gay marriage, like, yesterday"

At least they don't make us speak German
A good national anthem should be a bad song. Think about it. A soldier crying and saluting an objectively brilliant piece that makes you want to cry? Meaningless. The song makes everyone want to cry. But that same soldier crying to a mediocre 19th century drinking song with the most forgettable orchestral backdrop you've ever heard? Damn, he must really love his country to be moved by that piece of shit
