I’m German and I don’t think that it’s particularly healthy to be proud of the country you’re from. It’s basically the belief that your own traditions, language and land are better than that of others. Like I get calling a place home, but so many places in Germany are as foreign to me as places in other countries. Maybe more familiar, but familiarity isn’t the same as something being good.
Aussie here - you see someone waving a flag going on about “australian pride” and “proud aussie” outside of sports you know it’s code for “racist fuckhead”.
