In the US most students recite “the pledge of allegiance” every morning before school, which is kind of crazy. If you were in charge, what if anything would you replace it with?
I would replace it with education. Which is the purpose of schools.
Nothing.
If you want your citizens to be loyal, give them a good life, not a brainwashing.
I am a Swede, my life has been good, I may not be physically fit for fighting, but I absolutely would join the military and do support for the fighting for Sweden if needed.
I, too, would fight for Sweden, which I’ve only visited a few times to see my new in-laws.
Sweden is THAT awesome.
Fucking unrealistic, like the shire but with unreasonably gorgeous and decent people.
I’m an American moving to Sweden right now.
I’d fight for you in a second. You’re good people and I don’t think you’d start shit without a reason.
So I guess “And you have my state of the art military AI drone technology!”
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
The 7 sacred tenants of the Satanic Temple
Ironically, I think the Satanic Temple would oppose such a policy.
Nothing. Maybe a “good morning, do your best, and remember to be kind today”
How about nothing? Why do we need to indoctrinate children with any kind of this bullshit?
“we love our bread, we love our butter, but most of all we love each other” 🥰
Nothing. There would be no replacement and the pledge would fade from memory.
2 minutes of deep breathing to relax and concentrate, repeated through the day.
That’s it, just give everyone a chance to relax and center before getting back to the crazy.
Square breathing
That’s it, makes a big difference when you need it.
By Grabthar’s Hammer, by the Suns of Warvan, you shall be avenged.
No pledge. And “God bless America” should be dropped in favor of “Yippie-Ki-Yay, motherfucker”.
Gee, I dunno…How about learning something?
The I Love Egg song. No shortcuts.
Could even make an entire assembly about it. Every morning, spend five minutes dancing and showing allegiance to the vitamins and minerals in you, and oodles of the proteins too (oodle doodle)!
I drink it from a cup.
I drink it from a bottle.
I drink it from the belly button
Of a super model!
Apple juice and vodka!
Apple juice and vodka!
Why you drinking water?
Apple juice and vodka!
I vow to live my life in a way that supports the thriving of all life in perpetuity.
