re: #35 Channeling Confucius
Has anyone noticed that we seem to be having, every couple of months, a great festival of phony patriotism and hypocrisy?
I’ve not noticed it at the frequency which you suggest.
I will say that the flurry of patriotic fluff that surfaces now and again happens fairly often - all during my lifetime that I can remember.
It’s probably a universal human theme. Tribalism through symbols, and all that.
