You joke, but in the UK we are literally lorded over by a family that claims god chose them to rule over us, and we all just have to go along with it. And it isn’t just passive acceptance, I’ve seen people unironically support it (E: not just royalty, but the actual “chosen by god” part).
Indoctrination is a hell of a drug, and the US is heavy on it, there are entire populations made deliberately vulnerable to exactly this brand of bullshit.
For sure. They feed it to us here in the US pretty much every day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Yeah, “god save the king” is peanuts compare to the whole ultra nationalist zombie like daily vow of allegiance, it’s so creepy.
(to be clear, fuck our thing too, it’s obviously enough to work, it’s survived hundreds of years so far)
