    Good for you man, but in this case I guess that you’re proud of yourself and in the achievements that helped the people around you.
    You don’t have “second hand pride with extra narrative on top” from people that died long before you were born

      The individualists in this thread are saying:

      • Your personal conduct didn’t form your nation
      • And personal conduct is the only valid source of pride
      • Therefore you can’t be proud of your nation

      And I don’t agree with the 2nd premise at all. People are social beings and there’s lots of examples of collective pride.
