No, Joe

 Patriotic + what it really is, was, how it's been exploited to justify

You've ceased to be a truth seeker. What you are now is a validation seeker. Very different things. Truth seekers don't really have need of labels, alliances, or associations. They actually eschew them, understanding that being able to stand and alive and apart while examining issues is the only way to maintain objectivity. Objectivity is an absolute requirement for truth seeking.

The questions you're asking me right now are really pointed and loaded ones. I think that if I answer them directly and and all honesty it's going to come across as judgment which I'm really trying to avoid.

We don't have to opine on everything.

We really don't. I think social media is what's responsible. It's got us thinking that we need to voice our opinion on everything that happens and everything that said and done when really we don't need to at all. And then we feel the need to respond to others' responses. Why? Our opinion about what goes on in the world isn't always relevant, is frequently not well enough informed, and is almost always precipitous and unnecessary. And the media feels like they have so much air and space to fill, because now news must be 24/7 and everywhere, that they fill interviews, columns, talks shows, etc. with opinion. They ask people what they think about what someone else said or posted and demand a reaction. What does it really matter what someone else thinks and why must others always weigh in? Take, for example, Naomi Osaka pullout. She said what she said, she gave her reasons, accepted the fine, and that should have been the end of it. But, no. It has to get talked to...
