It is brain washing.
Where I'm from children sing the national anthem once a week at the school assembly and usually a few other songs too.
There are typically no flags.
Germany: we sang the anthem about once a year if even.
But that wasn’t always the case, now was it
That's the reason we stopped doing that
Well we defeated that ideology! And then wrapped it in red white and blue and made it our own! so take that!
^please^ ^help^ ^us^
^maybe^ ^you^ ^guys^ ^can^ ^invade^ ^us^ ^this^ ^time?^
^also,^ ^it^ ^was^ ^kinda^ ^the^ ^russians^ ^more^ ^than^ ^us…^
Not russians, soviet people. Well, russians too, but also ukrainians, belarusians/belorussians, armenians, georgians, long list of other nationalities that now their own states and even longer list of nationalities without one.
This is one if even two a year episodes of listening to anthem less, but if even once a year more singing than Russia. Kinda better, but not that much in this regard.
Singing once a week vs listening twice a year like in Russia. Please fix. Don't be worse than Russia.
It raises my heckles and annoys the shit out of me. It's not the hill I'll die on though.
It's also a dreadful dirge, which in recent years has been "jazzed up" and now it is even more grating to he ears, as well as nationalist B/S.
It's also sung indigenous language version first then English which riles up the racists so it has it's upsides.
Your anthem is a dreadful dirge you say, is it also a bloody war chant too?
Because ours, in the first part that everybody knows, has enemy soldiers slitting the throat of our spouse and children as we hold them, and us taking arms so our fields are watered with impure blood. Then, many more verses about foreigners coming to enslave us and the need to fight to the death.
Also a nice, hopeful late addition in which our children have to vow over our crumbled remains that they will avenge our deaths or follow us in the tomb.
At least they don't require that kids sing it in school though.
