    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.
