I'll stick with gratitude and give credit where it's due to the people who happen to be living where I am.
National identity is a bullshit construct which is used to control the public
How patriotic are you?

Most people like to be part of some kind of tribe. It makes more sense not to be though.
I've never met a scot who didnt love being one.
Yea but the tribe is bigger than scotland....It includes ireland and the north of france...Celts lad
Scottish people are more patriotic than the other countries
Not sure about the whole tribe thing though
It's called human instinct. Something ingrained in our mammalian DNA for the need and want to belong to a group. This is something that can't be suppressed with far left slogans railing against self identity.
China is a slave state operated by slave owners. The world community is insane to allow them in the world market. If you allow the unfair unjust advantage the Chinese have in the world market what chance do free people have. Greed will be the end of us all. I love the USA but most of its people couldnt tell you what mayo is made of let alone whats going on in the world today. So we slowly devolve.....

we evolved the capability to see all humans as equals and treat them as such.
don't hide behind genetics to justify your narrow minded prejudices.

We don't have tribes in Scotland but we do have the clan system which
is our way of being different,although the Irish might also have one.But
I wouldn't know about the French,Cornish or Basques
Do you mean young teams? Like FYT

I know, i just think the young teams here are funny. Every country has gangs and we have young teams

We aren't machines, we're living beings with wants and needs. The need to belong to a group and sub-group, is something that cannot and will never be erased.

me and millions of others get by just fine without feeling the need to become joiners and followers
It's only a 'need' if you are someone who has an irrational fear of difference or think you are superior to others. Joining a group is just an attempt to feel less insecure.
I'm a disgruntled patriot I guess...shit had better change, and change soon...and I mean ACTUALLY change...
Good debate in this thread about Nationalism...it's a slippery slope...I'm all for being proud of where you come from, your heritage, your culture, your history...but "nationalism" can be revved up into a fervor with devastating results.
But, hell yeah, I'm proud to be an American. Just not happy with the state of affairs as they sit right now.
