How much of your identity is a combination of your father and mother identities? Who are you if not a sum of all your ancestors(maybe a bit upgraded)?
It's funny how more than 90% of you don't give a shit about your country flag but if anything bad is said about your ipad(or preferred device/company), you jump UP.
It's useless to try to explain simple things, like patriotism, national symbols or to respect your ancestors, I won't get into that.
I'll try it another way.
Flags and other heraldic symbols of a country, used to be just as today logos are for companies(and much more). It's a bit exaggerated, but flags made(and still make some of us) proud of wearing as a ipod looser is to wearing his headphones.
Today's "cooler people" are just a community bond by Apple logo.
Patriots, are communities bond by flags, borders, blood lost by their grand parents, same suffering, same joy, same traditions, same language, same ancestors, same heroes same etc.
And in general we are all the same, we are just part of a different community.
(I also believe companies are the "new countries", but that's another thread)
