    One can be proud of the country they live in just like they can be disappointed in it.

      Lol one should be proud of one’s own achievements. Nothing achieved by being lucky (or unlucky) enough to be born in a certain part of the world. Losers who have nothing to show for take pride in something as arbitrary as a nation

        I get the impression that the pride and patriotism we see from so many Americans is largely an American thing. Most places, patriotism is entwined with right wing nationalism. I’m not an American, and I certainly wouldn’t say I’m proud on my country. I don’t own any of it or have much say in how it’s run, it’s just the place where I live - better than some places, worse than others.
