What you are describing is called "social capital." It is both the defining aspect of, and a necessary prerequisite for, a high-trust society. In the US we are seeing what happens when it disappears.

I don't disagree with you, but "gay pride causes rainbows" is such an astoundingly bad take that people will object to it by principle.

I'm saying it's terribly easy to fool you into thinking your country is something more than it is. To fool all of us. Then we're worshipping nations, and serving our country, and following orders from people we'd never obey if we knew.

So if I'm proud of my people, my neighbours, my friends, my lands is good and if I take my time to get to know my people, my neighbours, my friends, my lands then it becomes my country right? So being proud of my country is good.

Well, yeah. It's good I'd say if you can help people get to know you, and your friends will be glad you're proud of them. I think the subversion and undermining of that is what caused the wars. Most people don't have the power to get to know the leaders who have them in their debt.

So if I take my time to know my country men and take the effort to travel my land to get to know it will then it be my country?

National pride is the theft of your ancestor's hard work by politicians with pretty words who want to use your love for your people against you, so they can send you obediently to war. Be proud of your people, your neighbors, your friends, your lands, but don't be proud of your country.

Who said I was only talking about Germany?

I do appreciate the pony, but Anthony Fauci brought us AIDS, by knowingly lying that it only infected gays.

Oh yeah, let's just ignore the innumerable scientific and engineering wonders that have come out of Germany, make no mistake; the Germans had every right to be angry after WWI. A country full of some of the most talented naturalists in the world, and they had to carry fucking suitcases full of their currency just to afford a loaf of bread. Faggotry is nothing to be proud of, neither is being a tranny. Both are mental conditions that require medication, but the DSM-5 doesn't think so anymore because "muh representation."

National pride is being proud of something that your people or your ancestors accomplished by hard work, dedication and devotion. Doesn't necessary has to mean war or racial discrimination. It could be inventions, politics, sports, arts, food or drinks, preservation of history, buildings and architecture…. Being proud of being queer is just saying out loud without shame or self restraint disregarding whether it upsets people around you or not that you want to have sex in a disturbing way and nothing more. No work or effort invested in anything that you could say that you dedicated yourself to.

Considering Germans won't even fly their state flag anymore because they're worried it will cause controversy, this is actually astoundingly appropriate
