    Legally it’s not required, socially it basically is, and there’s real costs to going against that.

    So, you’re technically right, maybe. It’s still not normal for a democracy.

      There isn’t real costs. It’s not socially basically required.

      Either way, socially forced is not the country itself forcing it.

        So many stories Americans have written on here and Reddit contradict that.

        Either way, socially forced is not the country itself forcing it.

        Okay, sure. So what?

          You do realize that the bad is amplified on social media, right?

          Okay, sure. So what?

          So the statement given was false. And state forcing is completely different from social pressure in ethical terms.

            I do, and I’ve adjusted for that. I know Americans and I know how they are about their nationalism.
