      Maybe this?

      I know most people know this as a kneel, but one leg is standing. Just gotta somehow get more than 50% of your weight on the standing leg, thus technically resting the back knee, and this would be kneeling, while standing.

      At its best, nationalism in some forms can help unify people from disparate backgrounds into an imagined national identity. Unfortunately, most nationalism rots into division instead. Christian nationalism in the US, Hindu nationalism in India, Nazis in Germany. These all reject members of the physical nation in favor of their crazed fantasy version.

      Anti-colonial nationalism is fine actually. Not ideal but it is basically “everyone here regardless of more local culture should unite in a combined struggle to overthrow the oppressors” as opposed to colonial nationalism.

      It can be alright if you think your nation’s value are worth preserving. E.g. it is Patriotic to defend your country against a fascit invader that wants to remove your nation’s self-determination.

          You can welcome an invasion as a liberation force if no patriotism is involved. Like the eastern front did in WW2 until they realized Nazis were more about creating Lebensraum.

      Bold of you to assume they care about the flag as anything other than an easily defensible dogwhistle.

    I hope US enemies don’t find this. They could use it to force US soldiers to stand up during engagements and then force the US soldiers to kneel when they’re doing fire and movement.

      Geneva Convention Article 39:

      1. It is prohibited to make use of the flags or military emblems, insignia or uniforms of adverse Parties while engaging in attacks or to shield, favour, protect or impede military operations

      This one weird trick defeats your enemy in seconds and makes you a war criminal.

      I could be wrong, but wouldn’t AIDS make it way more likely to get cancer? From my uneducated perspective, that seems like it would be a common thing.

        Yes. It is normal for your body to have some level of cancer cells, but the immune system constantly keeps cancers in check. As the immune system weakens, cancers are more likely to become problematic. There’s even a group of cancer that is so much more likely to happen in AIDS patients that they’re known as AIDS-related cancers.
