patriot or not ?

You and I have seen it. They’re everywhere. Those flags that adorned our local automobiles on the month of August. Some stick one on top of their windscreen, some stick several of them around their cars. Heck, some even draped a big one across their hood.

So, what’s with all these sudden flaunt of patriotism ? Of course, we Malaysians knew that it’s our National Day. Those flags are suppose to show everyone that we’re patriotic. That we’re proud to be Malaysians. That we love our country and are proud to live here. Yeah right.

These patriots, apart from decorating their car with flags, will also throng onto the streets on National Day eve … shouting and yelling… jamming the traffic…racing and shits. They’re celebrating real hard because they feel like being patriotic. Then, they would stand for hours on Dataran Merdeka to watch the colorful parade … with their families, and would leave lots of burger wrappers on the street everywhere - to show everyone that they buy Malaysian goods - that’s so patriotic.

As if it’s still not patriotic enough, these patriots would also paint some graffiti behind our public lavatory doors, complimenting their friends and writing love poems … to show that they’re not illiterate, and that they’re thankful to be able to study freely in this country. Their moms are so proud of them.

Having said all that, I guess I don’t have to explain how I really felt about those attention seeking parasites. You see, being a patriot isn’t just about whoring for attention using a flag. It’s far more than that …

I do not know how to be a patriot coz I’m never one myself - but at least, I know how to appreciate the environment around me and be considerate. I have never thrown any garbage out of my car window nor vandalized any public property before … and I always aim my dick straight whenever I’m taking a leak at public toilet. It’s a simple thing to show how you care. (alright, I’ve vandalized my discipline teacher’s motorcycle before … but it ain’t public property so it doesn’t count)

We can see that there’s a lot of “patriots” out there hanging flags, but unfortunately, none of them really for real. I still see people throwing out garbage from their car … people vandalizing public toilet … people snatching handbags (chickens too) …people barfing in public places (PukeMachine) … people stealing manhole covers, cars, electric cables, railway tracks, underwears … etc. And yet, they have the audacity to profess that they’re a patriot.

Patriot my ass.
