why is it stupid to be proud of your peoples history and their achievements? they are your kin, in a way, and just like a father, brother, uncle can and should be proud of the achievements of their close kin, so you should be proud of the greater family you are part of.
that lack of ingroup loyalty, faith and love is the fucking problem with the west.
that lack of feeling connected enables outsiders to come in and subvert and take over western societies.
whats their to prove? that a group of people will do things not written in their religous texts?
just because its not in any religous texts, doesnt prove that (they) arent doing it.
you think thats the only difference between the races?
on the one hand you have cultures who didnt advance past the stone age until other civilizations arrived
on the other you have those cultures that created monuments that lasted thousands of years, who created art and literature and philosophy and systems of government, and yet you are supposed to feel no pride in belonging to one group over another?
it is true that just belonging to one particular culture or race doesnt make you, yourself automatically better than people of another culture or race, still i dont see a reason why feeling proud of your culture is wrong or stupid.
