Some of my friends sit somewhere in the middle of patriotism and nationalism. Is extreme patriotism a thing? Personally aussie pride makes me sick and it gets rammed down your throat

We talked about my understanding of nationalism after F3ynman asked me how I meant what I said earlier

Did we talk about the one and only truth?

Maybe. Still, it's just a quote, an opinion, not the one and only truth.

I would venture that Schopenhauer's quote also applies to football teams and cities. One is basically a company and one is a legal entity quite akin to a country for this argument

You can be proud about your city, children, footy team, local apple and fruit, even Ms and Ms users

No one in that case you should colonies some island, and Mc vice should do crime.
