Patriotism

At left is the rationale for thinking of ourselves as “citizens of the world.”

To be proud that I, by virtue of absolutely nothing I have done, hail from a certain country that I believe to be superior to the other 205 sovereign nations on Earth, is stupidity at its finest.

Especially when the country in question has by far the strongest military power of the globe, extreme levels of patriotism result in serious problems on a global scale.
