Don’t let propaganda and cultural indoctrination convince you that being patriotic is an obligation. Patriotism is a form of respect and pride, and those things should never be the default state; they have to be earned. If you genuinely feel those things for your country, then by all means, call yourself a patriot and act accordingly. But if you don’t actually feel that way about your country, then aside from the minimum level of performative patriotism necessary for your safety, you should feel no obligation to be patriotic. The fact that you live in a country doesn’t require you to be proud of it or respect it. Outside of safety concerns, espousing patriotic views when you don’t believe your country has earned that devotion from you is intellectually bankrupt nonsense.
