ATLA ironically may have desensitised me to the pledge thing by trying to show it as a creepy thing in the Fire Nation school. Instead, it just became part of the narrative flow, which was somewhat opposite the intent.
Then again, I’ve probably come to associate it with singing shitty school songs and national anthems in Australia anyway.
I hadn’t said the (US) Pledge of Allegiance since the 1970s but I attended my local school board meeting last year and they kicked off with it. I couldn’t even remember which fucking hand to put over my heart, let alone the actual words of it.
