In Reply to: The flag-waving, constantly intoning "America is great!" brand of patriotism: I don't get it. posted by tinear on May 13, 2021 at 05:35:39:
"This isn't meant as a criticism of American, per se, but rather of hubris."The "flag-waving, constantly intoning "America is great!" brand of patriotism" isn't necessarily the "hubris" that is driving the "idea that we should be so puffed up as to force other countries to do this or that politically".
Isn't the "hubris" you are talking about more represented by neoconservatism and liberal internationalism, than the "flag-waving, constantly intoning "America is great!" brand of patriotism"?
