How is questioning the government the most American thing someone can do? What a bizarre statement. Do Brits who question their government become American?

You say America is the West’s only communist country. Wrong. America is the West’s only Fascist country.
Truthfully if America were a communist country then there wouldn’t be many of the problems America faces today.

For the most part I hate graffiti. But graffiti that expresses an opinion and doesn’t look so bad I can deal with.

Woot: While I agree that nations are rather insane and artificial subdivisions of humanity, fact is that nations are *ideas*, and so they are real in a way. Perhaps nations are even ways of thinking. And as the graffiti points out very nicely, once upon a time it was the Americans who were the oppressed. Even if this is now conveniently forgotten or twisted into another excuse for jingoism.

well, in the reality of our society, i’d have to say that the message speaks to the heart of the argument over keeping our mouths shut during a time of war or being labled traitor or unpatriotic.

in this world, we do have nations, so we need to speak up and participate — no matter the class we belong to. obviously that gets more difficult the farther down the class system, but if an effort isn’t made, no change will ever occur.

Nations are false constructs set up to divide us. It is utterly meaningless to say ‘The Most American Thing You Can Do’ when 90% Americans, just like the rest of the world are barely scraping by to survive.

Class is all that matters, and the working class have no nation!
