Another data point: I find a sentence which involves 'love' 'being proud'
and 'my country' to be really sicko. I've had enough propaganda rammed
down my throat during those little commie nazi camps I was privy to during
my childhood and early adolescence that I feeling an intense urge to puke
if I see such combinations. Ugh.
You might be amused to learn that there was plenty of contempt, resentment
and outright sabotage in our army unit (Krautland has still a conscript
army).
As I said, consider this just a data point. Don't look strangely at me
(he, said, while playing with his handgun nervously).
