Also, you can be whatever the hell you want, dude. I don't have to like it. And if you tell me you're proud of your nationality, I will very likely not hang out with you. But if that's what makes you happy, I'm happy for you.

F3ynman I feel like you're not even reading what I'm writing. Or you are reading things into it that aren't there. I literally addressed that point in response to Starvynth earlier

@corrupt, if you were speaking only of wealth and prosperity, then I think we’re probably on the same page. It’s possible I interpreted your original statement too broadly.

... sports team, a band, ... Hell, I have US and German citizenship, and I love both of my nationalities. You can be patriotic without becoming a fascist

Sweden is not a better place to live than the rest of Europe. A lot of things have become worse in the last 40 years. Healthcare is one. Education is another.

I mean, that's usually how things go on the grand scale. Sure you can improve your local community in many ways, but if it's about wealth and prosperity, it will have a component of exploitation. It cannot work in any other way.

I hope I got your statement right without any confusion or misinterpretation. In the shoutbox, things go by so fast that it’s easy to miss the point or mistakenly reply to something or someone else :)
