        kind of wonder what's happened to America as an identity working hunch is "Iraq" but idk it used to be that even counterculture and protest used the flag as a signifier and that sure seems to not be the case anymore sort of a shift from civic religion to civic atheism maybe

        but I think it's something analogous to rebellions in (eg) old countries where the rebels would frequently fight to "free the king from the clutches of his wicked counselors" or (maybe? sketchy) compare China's the Mandate of Heaven speaking of which https://twitter.com/turrible_tao/status/796225851444658176 …

        Hello, Twitter! Bet you weren't expecting a holiday tweetstorm. No one expects the holiday tweetstorm; surprise is our chief weapon. But there's another reason I held this tweetstorm for today: it's a column on why America needs more symbolic patriotism. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/america-needs-more-patriotism/2018/07/03/aa16f54e-7f00-11e8-b0ef-fffcabeff946_story.html?utm_term=.5d988364b363 …

        ok new thought after playing Crusader Kings 2 a bit and mulling over some news from Byzantium I think I am most objecting to American _Iconoclasts_ explicitly I don't think burning flags or attacking our dear Founders or whatever should be illegal! however . . .

        per above these things have important value as signals and I deeply object, socially, to their routine denigration we live in a society . . . which mostly works better with some common floating signifiers and What America [is] About are the best extant signifiers I know of

        I would be happy to embrace some new, better icons but at a national level I don't think we have any good replacement set at the moment idk lack conviction and drown the ceremony of innocence at our collective risk I guess

        *leans too close to the mic, heavily sweating and breathing heavily* all signifiers and nations are floating signifiers; all communities are arbitrary imaginaria but america is still the only country that has the Absolute Balls to admit it
