    I stopped saying the Pledge of Allegiance because I was hyperfixated on the Eragon books and it seemed too similar to swearing loyalty to Galbatorix.

      it’s literal brainwashing. Americans laugh at the NK people having to praise Dear Daddy, but then every morning in school, they cite the pledge of allegiance. Why would you want to be allied with one of the worst countries in modern history? Fuck that.
