My issue is that I simply do not understand nationalism or patriotism. I never have and never will. Nothing will change my mind on it. I just find it a seriously outdated notion, we are not in the 1940s anymore.

I can honestly say it doesn't matter one iota to me where a person is from, I will judge them on their own merits. Somebody who just so happens to be born within the same totally made up land border as me is just as likely to be a prick who I do not like and have nothing in common with as somebody from some other made up land border. Heck, somebody from Lebanon or Libya is likely to be less of a prick than somebody from Liverpool, and is certain to speak far better English.

And I cannot say I have a huge deal of pride about this made up land border I just so happened to be born in right now. Led by a despicable Government, all waterways polluted to fuck, the natural environment and wildlife being destroyed and persecuted, all utilities companies a disgrace, a health service dead on its arse, a flailing economy, I could go on. There are also good aspects, of course, but there are to every country. Just makes no sense to me.
