You fuckers have loyalty day? Real “meine Ehre heißt Treue” hours going on.
On the bright side practically no one has ever heard of this. 80% of people have heard of May Day even if most barely know or don't know what it means. I have never heard "loyalty day" spoken aloud in my entire life
Real "greatest pro worker President" bonefides
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loyalty_Day
The date, May 1, was set in order to counter International Workers' Day and was recognized by the U.S. Congress during the height of the Second Red Scare.
Each year on Loyalty Day, the current president is requested to issue a proclamation that asks the American government officials to display the American flag on all government buildings. The proclamations also ask for the American people to observe Loyalty Day with ceremonies in suitable places. The most common way of celebrating is with parades.
The holiday was first observed in 1921, during the First Red Scare. It was originally called "Americanization Day," and it was intended to replace the May 1 ("May Day") celebration of the International Workers' Day, which commemorates the 1886 Haymarket affair in Chicago. In the late 1800’s May became a day for the revolutionary labor movement to honor the memory of the May 1, 1886, strike in Chicago. The 1886 strike is also known as the Haymarket Affair or the Haymarket Riot which is associated with a number of issuing events that influenced the creation of Loyalty Day. The need for Loyalty Day was recognized in response to the October Revolution in Russia. One of the first instances of a celebration held for Americanization day was on May 1, 1930, when 10,000 VFW members staged a rally at New York's Union Square to promote patriotism.
It’s like if Indigenous Peoples Day was the original holiday, then the US government decided “nah, we’re making it Columbus Day now”.
"loyalty day"???? 😂
Has anybody else ever even heard of this??
It was invented to replace International Labour Day, which almost everyone in the world celebrates on May 1st. The US celebrates "Labor Day" on a different day to reduce internationalism and solidarity.
Labor Day in the US also rarely celebrates workers. Usually they try to focus on veterans yet again.
Yeah. It has been posted on hexbear every year since inception. Almost every time people think it was the first time it was declared.
Loyalty Day has been declared every year since 1958. The intention of loyalty day is to be a distraction from the Haymarket Affair. In Chicago Illinois, May 4 1888, police opened fire on workers who protesting for the 8 hour work day after a dynamite bomb was thrown into the crowd by an unknown person.
America is fascist.
No fucking way lmao, pick a different day loser, this one is already taken
I call upon the people of the United States to join in this national observance, display the American Flag, and pledge allegiance to our Republic for which it stands.
I wish there was some way to create an illusion of a flag burning. Some sort of light trick. Imagine flying a forever burning American flag
Happy Loyalty Day, volks!
I hope aryan has a great day today!
europe, like the rest of the cracker-sphere is shit, but i least i get a day a year i can blast the internationale and most people will go "hell yeah"
what the fuck is loyalty day, i've never heard of it before
Death to America
Loyalty day was literally created to distract from May Day. Same reason amerikkkan labor day is half a year away even though May Day memorializes the Haymarket Massacre in Chicago.
