"The way I see it, anyone who's proud of their country is either a thug or just hasn't read enough history yet."
-Battal Yavuz, speaking in Richard K. Morgan's novel TH1RTE3N

There's something to be said for that. You may remember my Fourth of July post, of course, but you may also recall that I said specifically that I didn't consider myself a patriot.

Any kind of loyalty - whether to a country, to a person, or to a god, is only a virtue insofar as its object is virtuous. Otherwise it's just a persistence in folly at best and more often outright criminality.

As someone who got to choose their country, I disagree to a certain extent, primarily around Olympics and World Cup time. Otherwise, I agree! It's boring if I don't have someone to cheer for in fencing!

Best. Quote. Ever.
I completely concur, as usual.
