I didn't even watch the video, but there's a lot of pure ideology going on in this thread. Too many fart huffing liberals for me to dunk on myself.

    nationalism based around a white settler colonial state only ends in racial supremacism. you can't untie the US from the absolute cold hard material reality the land it is on was stolen in an ongoing racially motivated genocide, slavery, and the concept that land was willingly given by God for white people to take as their natural destiny. the entire concept of the united states must be eradicated and have something new built in its place, born out of those contradictions that has learned from them and doesn't fucking mythologise them in romanticism

      A nation that has spent its entire history sowing toxic divisions between the Native Americans, the Black chattel slaves, the "white" working class, migrant laborers, genders, sexual orientations, religions, etc. with the specific aim of undermining class solidarity and internationalism.

      :is-this:

      Is this a symbol of the global proletarian struggle?

        you can't say country bad because then the reactionary white people will get mad :(
        we simply just have to accept white settler states and their entirely false founding myths of freedom. we need red-brown bipartisanship :maybe-later-kiddo:

          We wouldn't want to alienate all the extreme nationalist chuds from our labor movement! Alienating people of color and the entire LGBTQ community by pretending that America has been anything but horrible to them? Meh, whatever, how many of those are there anyway?
