I think this sums it up….
Nationalism is a zero-sum game, where the only way to feel better is to show that others are worse, whereas Patriotism is being proud of your country whilst acknowledging it’s successes and it’s faults, and understanding that other countries feel the same way. |
It's kind of like virtual signalling then on a countrywide scale

Anyway, what we need to do is get rid of all the incompetent nut jobs in Whitehall and put it into the hands of the real experts, the ones who seem to have little or no problem at all getting drugs, guns and people from one country to another  |
I thought you were going to come out with the uber capitalist mantra of privatisation where the only ones they're interested in saving money for or earning it for are themselves but I like this idea, poachers make the best game keepers, it'll tackle the crime rate at the same time
