Thank you. Patriotism/nationalism is just letting your local bully take the lunch money instead. The only way I can take anything meaningful from this post is ala "You only need to hang mean bastards, but, mean bastards you need to hang". We are as much a part of the problem as any other nation (if not more) & dealing with our own Masters should be the impetus not fear of some alien other(s).

How does patriotism and nationalism equate to a bully?
Being a patriot and loving your country isn't an automatic ticket to an authoritarian. There have been plenty of strong leaders that weren't authoritarian.
George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, JFK to name a few..
