    I originally meant patriotism, not nationalism. Though I still think the same about patriotism as well. I don’t think that’s a prerequisite for caring for the people around you either.

      In the US, patriotism/nationalism are the same thing. Maybe patriotism is good in an ML society, but in a capitalist one it pits workers against their own class.

        Mhm! It was a point that I similarly expounded on downards. Man the comment count on this is crazy 🥴. Trying to “reclaim it” is like swimming against the current in a monsoon. Maybe not the most scientific analogy, but you get it, hehe
