It does not trivialises oaths, it makes people super nationalistic and you get stupid ideas like American exceptionalism.
That's not what indoctrination is. Like I said, it isn't followed up with anything doctrinal. Indoctrination isn't mindlessly repeating a few words every day. Indoctrination is a regimen of proper thinking. By definition, mindlessly repeated words are not indoctrination.
Mindlessly repeating words is only indoctrination in the high school drop out pot smoking hippie living in their mother's basement sense of the word.
Um no, that is EXACTLY what indoctrination is.
"Just do it" and hiding behind the word "respect" is the very definition of indoctrination and a call for blind loyalty.
And again, do not pull that "mother's basement" bullshit with me. I have been consistent in prior posts that the left has used that as a slur too, and I hate it when my side uses it too. Where somebody lives and who pays the bills is none of your business unless you live under that roof.
The topic is FORCED RITUAL. And if that is what you want, North Korea would be a better fit for you.
