  • We have never rejected fanaticism.

    The revolution was built on fanatical ideas and ideals of American exceptionalism and where was propaganda to support that.

    The civil was started primarily because the wealthy didn’t want to give up free labor (slaves) but a lot of individuals supported it because they felt the big scary northern government was attacking their homes and they had to defend them and their way of life (still, slavery,).

    Pretty much every war is sold based on fanaticism. The Spanish American war was wholesale created by yellow journalism. The world wars were a bit different because America was very isolationist then and it needed a push.

    Overall America isn’t an exception here. Most humans need to be fanatical to really do big things like war or revolution.

    You can definitely hear it. You can hear someone on a voice call or talk radio pretty clearly just walking near them.

    But this is really asking about the cars you can hear coming down the block that sounds like they’re trying to work out sore muscles with their subwoofers.
