(3,573 posts)If there are U.S. flags or overtly-political or national themes on the boxing of a product it's wholly irrelevant to (cereal, toilet paper, etc.), I'll go on to the next one. It is weird that as a human species we often give ourselves over to the imaginary, and invest so much of our own identity into that concept, we have a difficult time seeing it for the imaginary construct it is.
And from that, we make so many of our daily decisions based on these imaginary standards and measures that we often become consumed by them, investing more into the make-believe than in reality. Religion, politics, economics, law... none of it exists anywhere but our own imaginations, and yet they have such an impact on even the smallest of our decisions.
