A key difference between your comment here and the one 'dang is responding to is that yours is conducive to continuing such a conversation in a constructive manner and the latter is not. I find that's very important in engendering the kind of environment you're striving for. That's how I read 'dang's admonishment: it's unsubstantive and flamebait because it doesn't provide much leverage to continue a meaningful conversation and rather encourages knee-jerk, similarly unsubstantive comments (as you've noted in describing it as coming across as "jingoistic nationalism"). (I'll leave this now as continuing a meta-discussion is something these threads often need less of, and I don't have a lot to add beyond this.)
