I believe Patriotism is a bad thing. CMV

I don't see any reason to hold your country in higher regard simply because you were born within the arbitrary lines that define it.  I think patriotism leads to ethnocentrism and a very skewed perception of the entire world where your country is perfect and many others are evil.

I'm not saying that supporting your country is wrong in a situation you feel they're doing good.  I'm not saying you can't love your country.  I just think blind faith in your leaders allows atrocities to happen while excusing you or your leaders from ever admitting them.

Do you believe it's bad *now* or that it's just bad in principle?

Nationalism is an outdated philosophy in an age of globalization when the collective sacrifice of Chinese wage slaves has probably done more for improving your standard of living than your own government, but for the vast majority of human history this was not the case. Rudimentary infrastructure meant that you had to rely on people within your immediate geographic area for survival, which made it justified for you to hold these people above those who did not benefit you.
