Pride OR shame based on an accident of birth is silly. The notion that Germans should feel bad, or that Americans should feel good, based on the piece of dirt they were born on, is just silly. The "us versus them" that matters is not about nationality, or color, or religion, or income level, or education level, or any of that. The "us versus them" that matters is between those who commit aggression (which includes every "government") and those who don't.

Nation states are just like religions and economies. They are just another chess piece for the oligarchs to control us. My hope is that one day enough people will wake up to the reality of our situation and evolve past it.
How is an economy a means of control?
One based on debt has no element of control? I suppose if a true free market economy actually existed you could say it had no control mechanism. One doesn't though.
Take the USA's as a good example. It is based off consumer spending, and the majority of that spending in financed though debt. Then those people are much easier to control.
