Forget being american.  chinese.  russian.  Anything with a flag.  Those are the delusions carried on by fanatics relishing in reliving war via history and through repetitive calender ensure the war continues, the genocide continues, and the mass of uneducated slaves continue without resistance.   You do not have to repeat the past.  You do not need the sins and barbarity of your ancestors dictate who you are today.  Be now.  Present.  Free of labels.  Dont let the gps coordinate of your birth steal your future.
