National pride is idiotic. Where you were born is just what happened. You had no say in or control over the matter. You are proud of something that happened that you had absolutely no hand in. Idiotic.

There's also left wing nationalism, such as Catalunya and Scotland, and also liberation movements.
They are very different than right wing nationalism though.
What if you're from a small country like Tuvalu or Vatican. Then you don't have so many fellowmen and your pride is all the more worthy.
Imagine not understanding that you can be proud of several things at once.
What a looser.

The cheapest sort of pride is pride for your children; for if a man is proud of his own children, it argues that he has no qualities of his own of which he can be proud; otherwise he would not have recourse to those which he shares with so many members of his family.
