Nationalism as marketing

You guys may remember a few months back the ‘commercial’ for the Flux Raider that I posted. I enjoyed the whole goes-up-to11 level of ubernationalism. And its always fun to portray the British as foppish sissies. A much shorter, but just as tongue-in-cheek commercial dropped for Black Rifle Coffee.

I genuinely cannot think of any nation that engages in this sort of self-aggrandizement… I think it’s a uniquely American trait. At least, to this all-in-good-fun extent.

And the “1776” brass knucks are a nice touch.

Yup, totally not preparedness related but if it made me laugh I’m pretty sure it’ll make you laugh, and who couldn’t use a chuckle these days, hm?

h/t to the guy playing the redcoat…his inflection and mannerisms belie some actual acting skill.

ETA: While we’re at it….

  1. A great part of the world thinks that the American fascination with the flag is weird. I have read that the Swiss have no problem with using their national flag as a table cloth. Here, it would be considered a Leftist political statement.

    Leftists who hate the country burn our flag, but that willingness to do so by some and the tacit approval or, at least, lack of objection by others is typical of the entire Leftist agenda. They hate America and want to transform it into a “socialist paradise,” even though there has never been a country in the History of Ever that was a socialist paradise, and there are probably a dozen that became socialist nightmares and political, economic, and cultural backwater.

  2. Pity Black Rifle is run by woketards, and let the mask slip back in 2021.

    They must be backpedalling hard to try and memory hole the cleat marks in their own junk, and hoping the Right has a short memory.

  3. The same British Army we defeated played hell with my Scottish ancestors at the Battle of Cullodan. Bonnie Prince Charlie and a few surviving members of his army left in a pretty quick march away from the action. Pretty sure he ended up in France as a refugee.

      If you are going to spout about your Scottish Heritage – At least spell Cullodden correctly!
      Of course, Americans failing to spell English correctly is nothing new…

  4. Do you think George Washington asked his men fighting and giving their lives for our country if they were Democrats or Republicans. Did he bad mouth the ones he didn’t agree with?

  5. You should check out “Too late to apologize” on youtube. The founders start in ‘Conference’ in 1770’s clothing, writing the Declaration to George III, and end up as a rock band playing “Too Late To Apologize”. Very cool.
