  This is a view that I think everyone of us should have. The elites manipulate us by waving various flags and nationalism is one of them. Don't get me wrong that Nationalism is useful when the whole country is under invasion or something, but so far this is not happening for most of the countries out there. I'd rather segment people by the class they are in.

  Of course. Commoners have more in common with each other than the elites. But which system is better for the health of society etc? The autocratic corrupt spying apparatus gov? Or the falted, less efficient, but generally much much more open and representative gov of the US?

    > The autocratic corrupt spying apparatus gov? replace “autocratic” with “unelected”/unaccountable and you get the NSA.

      Lol. You must exist in a world of hyperbole. If you think the US gov is bad, wait until you see and experience a world of the CCP and Putin's FSB. In a CCP world, probably within a decade, if you posted a critical comment on a messageboard - you would "disappear" in a week, and all mentions of you would be gone from the earth within a month. They don't tolerate resistance my friend.
