It's good to mock backwards traditions, though. For example, Abraham was a mentally ill individual who wanted to kill his son because of a voice inside his head. I won't respect him just because he was brown and some brown people revere him.
Quote:The GI Generation was patriotic without being the worst sort of nationalist. The valid patriot recognizes that the patriotism of people in other countries is valid. The perverse nationalist sees no validity in the patriotism of people in other lands that that nationalist wishes to subject and exploit.
All patriotism, nationalism, tribalism should be sent to the dustbin of history.
