Sir, well said!
I often used to argue that patriotism is a form of racism since it promotes the well being off one's race over the well being of all men. Moreover, the modern state being to large and heterogenous to appeal to kinship to justify this inequality, I am left altogether uneasy by the concept of patriotism, infinitely prefering to see my self as a member of the Earth.
My government (UK) does a great deal to put it's rights above those of everyone else, and naturally I benefit from this whether I choose it or no. Still, I think it is right to desire that we may all live in peace and plenty.
