Still, I find it very presumptuous to assume that every patriot will sooner or later turn into a fascist. And this is coming from someone who can't identify with any of these terms.
And that's the thing right? What more reason would there be for national pride than to erase history? And that is a classic fascist move. People are always easier to control when they make their country part of their personality.
@Ball Fondlers, it's the same in most European countries. Many of the western ones have a colonial history that they tend to sweep under the rug. Australia seems to at least publicly process its history.
