Michael Moore’s latest attempt to remake America in his own ideological image is making waves—but not the kind he likely intended. On Monday, the progressive filmmaker unveiled his own rewritten version of the U.S. Pledge of Allegiance.
Rather than honoring the flag and the republic for which it stands, Moore’s revision pledges allegiance to “the people” and to a globalist dream of “one world,” complete with “a seat at the table” and “a slice of the pie” for everyone.
This isn’t satire. It’s his new gospel.
Moore, the director best known for Fahrenheit 9/11 and other left-wing polemics, introduced his revised pledge via Substack, casting it as a rallying cry to combat what he calls “MAGA-heads” and “insanity.” It’s less a patriotic oath than a call to arms—a progressive sermon that trades constitutional clarity for feel-good slogans about kindness and equality.
And here’s the kicker: he’s serious. Moore didn’t just post his “pledge” and walk away. He’s urging his followers to take daily political action, calling on them to email Congress, make protest signs, and even join local activist groups.
The symbolism of rewriting the Pledge of Allegiance is meant to be powerful—and provocative. But what it really signals is something deeper: a fundamental rejection of American tradition.
This isn’t Moore’s first foray into reengineering foundational aspects of the nation. Back in 2022, he proposed abolishing the Second Amendment, arguing that the “inalienable right” to be free from gun violence should trump the right to bear arms. His version of a “28th Amendment” would have rewritten history and erased one of the most deeply rooted protections in American law.
Now, with his rewrite of the pledge, Moore is doubling down—taking aim at not just the Constitution, but the symbols and values that bind the republic together.
While Moore might see his pledge as a poetic expression of hope, many Americans are more likely to view it as a progressive fantasy untethered from national reality. His call for “one world” unity and “a slice of the pie for all” sounds suspiciously utopian, particularly coming from a man whose activism often seems more invested in division than unity.
