I’m not sure how I received critical thinking: As a adolescent I lived in two countries, went to 7 grade schools, one high school, I was born in the 50ies, taught in school to hide under a school desk because the Russians might attack, I was taught that I’m going to Asian to kill somebody including children and women for a reason that didn’t make since, I turn 18 when the war ended, I knew then FUCK the news media of all propaganda of WWII re-enactments and Vietnam, on Tv, the war on pot arresting teenagers and sentencing them to prison, gasoline lines, everything that surrounded myself was lies and lies, not sure that how it came about BUT I did know in my 60ies that TRUMP was my John Wayne and I voted for this thank you and bless you the reader and especially your family and the President
**** critical thinking, is the intellectually disciplined process of actively analyzing, evaluating, and synthesizing information to reach reliable, justifiable conclusions. It involves questioning assumptions, checking for bias, and using logic rather than accepting information at face value

Patriotism signaling has its value, but over-the-top jingoism, such as a Dodge commercial I recently saw that somehow brought the Boston Tea Party into the sales pitch for a pickup truck, becomes identifiable as manipulative. You might’ve had an advantage as a Canadian in thinking critically about American over-the-top jingoism. Once you saw the manipulation in one place, you could use the same thinking to spot manipulation elsewhere also.
