Comment on If a country needs to employ state-sponsored patriotism, it's usually because there's nothing to be proud of about the country.

For example, I live in Vienna. Public transport here is amazing. Housing is pretty great. Education is free and good. Public healthcare is free and really good. I’m going to keep voting and contributing to keep these things good.

Many people would consider this civic pride. You don’t have to.

First of all, nobody was talking about civic pride, and second, you have to be really stupid to be proud of something you had no part in accomplishing.
