Should the Government ensure the loyalty of it's citizens to it's nation and leader, through a patriotic values assessment?

[Anonymous]

should there be patriot exam for all citizens in order to ensure absolute loyalty to the nation and it's leader?

[Astarlessnightsky]

No.

Its a shitton of work.

What about those who "fail"?

And what is patriotic, who decides what these values are?

[Asker]

those who fail must prove their values in a gladiatorial combat arena,

[Asker]

the patriotic president decides what those values are,

[Astarlessnightsky]

So this Test will kill half the population within a few years. As every President has different values and thusly everyone is patrotic or not patriotic.

[Syntosi]

No. That is stupid and we have historically shot people who proposed this for obvious reasons.

[Asker]

you can't stop the return of the reich

[Syntosi]

True, it generally speaking destroys itself soon enough. Fascism is not a sustainable ideology.

[Asker]

yes it is, and it's the only ideology that should be allowed, all others must be eliminated

[Syntosi]

Every instance of a fascist government has destroyed itself.

Loyalty to the leader is not a requirement of patriotism.

[Asker]

the leader is the nation and the nation is him

[slatyb]

The US Government? That's expressly forbidden by the Constitution.

[Asker]

but patriotism is a national necessity

[slatyb]

You may feel that way but the Constitution rules the land.

[Spencer10]

I think they may do this in North Korea... those guys are always ahead of the curve!

[Asker]

I'm not a communist not by a long shot, I'm on the extreme opposite end to communism

[andreasderjuengere]

Hitler had a similar idea.

We know what the result was.

[Asker]

yes the German people had control of their banks and media once again

[exitseven]

No, but American history and civics should be taught in our schools.

[Asker]

it should go a little further and be Patriot Education standards

[exitseven]

The truth about America needs to be taught , warts and all.

[Dream2Much]

I think anything that leads to a more likeminded country will be good. We're so divided culturally mindfully and physically it's really obscene

[DrPepper12]

That some next level authoritarianism!! WTF would you ask on this test?

Loyalty is earned, not forced, sold or bargained.

[Avicenna]

Sounds like China's social credit system.

[Anonymous]

Yes, just like North Korea.
