Patriotism is dumb, and so is nationalism.

Why should I be proud of the fact that an accident of birth placed me in the US rather than Canada? Why should I think that people here are any better than people anywhere else? The real fact of the matter is that the average person has less in common with the wealthy people of their 'own' country than they do with people elsewhere. I might be just as 'American' as Donald Trump, but I know for a fact that I have far more in common with a Canadian worker than I do with him. Working people have no country.
