So fúcking happy today...
Yes, Loiner, happy 4th of July!
As for the real 4th of July, let us remember Polish national hero and great Polish-American hero Andrzej Tadeusz Bonawentura Kościuszko who contributed directly to American independence from British tyranny and subsequently inspired 59 other nations to follow suit.

Wow! Talk about being hated by everybody, over centuries, and all around the world, no matter who is running Blighty!
The Red Flag
And we all know what you are really giddy about; your juvenile love for draconian communist-era r*SSia! r*SSia! r*SSia (while still positioning yourself to dodge any and all new taxes imposed by "Sir" Smarmy Starmer)!
Here are the original lyrics to the song (not from the deceptively edited youtube video you posted).
The people's flag is deepest red,
It shrouded oft our martyred dead,
And ere their limbs grew stiff and cold,
Their hearts' blood dyed its every fold.So raise the scarlet standard high,
Beneath its shade we'll live and die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the red flag flying here.
Look 'round, the Frenchman loves its blaze,
The sturdy German chants its praise,
In Moscow's vaults its hymns were sungChicago swells the surging throng.
It waved above our infant might,
When all ahead seemed dark as night;
It witnessed many a deed and vow,
We must not change its color now.
It well recalls the triumphs past,
It gives the hope of peace at last;
The banner bright, the symbol plain,
Of human right and human gain.
It suits today the weak and base,
Whose minds are fixed on pelf and place
To cringe before the rich man's frown,
And haul the sacred emblem down.
With heads uncovered swear we all
To bear it onward till we fall;
Come dungeons dark or gallows grim,
This song shall be our parting hymn.
So raise the scarlet standard high,
Beneath its shade we'll live and die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the red flag flying here.
