Many national anthems are fairly radical political manifestos.
Just because they've been put to some music and we've gotten used to them doesn't make them any less radical.
It's funny to think that statements like "arise, children of the fatherland, against the bloody flag of tyranny" or "O Lord our God arise, scatter our enemies and make them fall!" or "Let's unite, we're ready to die! For centuries we've been stamped on and laughed at because we're not one people" should be completely okay and everybody should stand and listen in awe, but "black lives matter" would be too radical and too political for the same setting.
Well, get rid of em then. Idgaf
