I didn't see it as patriotic flag waving so much as enthusiasm and urging the thing to work. Americans seem to engage such things with enthusiasm unlike us cynical tired old Europeans.

No. Well they dont have much else to flag wave about. How about trying to get enthusiastic about a decent health or education system.

The space fuck is the ideal event. No victim, just a big party to show "we are great." Plus, no money wasted on welfare losers. Win win!

My South African mates were chuffed too. After all, Elon is South African by birth. The Canucks love him too, because he holds both Canadian and American citizenship.
