Some people love their country like a child loves their parent. Uncritical. They can do no wrong and are the best ever. Don’t be like that.
Some people love their like like a peer loves a peer. You see their flaws and want them to be the best they can be. Be like that, even when it’s uncomfortable and difficult.

For me its like loving a relative who is a writhing hateful shell of what they used to be. Think Alzheimer’s or something.
But even that is glorifying a national myth, where the actual history is defined by subjugation and exploitation.
Wow! Just like a real relative!
