Most people I know see nationality as the low hanging fruit of identities. You did nothing, no achievement, no struggle, you feast on other people's work. As I said people here tend to be grateful to be born or at least live in such a rich and somewhat sane country. I may be proud of actions done by the larger collective, but "being proud of the nation"... Does this include all the wars, weapon exports, economic extortions, environmental crimes, racism, ... ? Nationalism is blind on one eye and flirts with exclusion with the other. It's the feeling of agency for those fearing complexity and diversity. Europe also is different than the US in terms of borders: they changed all the time. They are obviously artificial constructs. I asked you what good does nationalism serve? Don't you see the inherent danger at all? In Germany all the right wing/covid19 conspiracy/... Bullshit is spread in WhatsApp groups. I think it's more important than Facebook for spreading "hate over facts".
