Does patriotism still have a place in modern society?

decent patriotism is ok (yes i'm happy to live in germany and not in burma and how germany acts the past decades) but many are so blind and stupid defending everything their country is doing, it's unbelievable. man it's just coincidence if you get born in this or that country and those people defending their country for everything against another country (not in war, just political and so on). those would do the same vice versa with a totally different system!

people who say "i'm so proud to be an american" would say "shit usa" if they would live in some other country and people who hate usa would say "america over all" if they would live there. that'S so unbelievable stupid!

i can say that i like some things my country is doing and i'm happy to live here but that doesnt mean that my country is better than many other countries.

Just my view but i really like Germany, its been very clever economically and one of the fastest growning countries in the world. of course i think england is better because i am from england but not to the point where i hate other countries
