    If everyone was patriotic the world would be a much better place.

      The problem is that few countries are good enough for all to be patriotic. Schools these days try to convince you that nationalism only leads to war, but it doesn't.

        Nationalism doesnt necessarily lead to war but it helps during war!

          School teaches you to be patriotic, but it never teaches you to go to extremes with anything, at any case. They have the Australian anthem at school, but that school I was in was very corrupt, it's full of naughty even violent people, the teachers merely want a positive, well-behaved environment, this is how patriotism helps you in hard times.

      Yeah, patriotism or at least Australianism is the prevailing norm of a group of autistic Australians, they at least try to be a real Australian, nobody believes them, but these people are true blue Aussies. Having beliefs when nobody believes you is a symptom caused by doctors medicating you, if you learn to act exactly like someone who's normal this will stop, and as for patriotism, half the Australians are patriotic, some of them don't eat Vegemite. But really being Australian is all about where you come from and not about the way you act. You can be a singer who never mentions Australia and still be an Australian singer, I don't agree with it, but Kylie Minogue is Australian.

      Or it would result in an even more xenophobic world.

        As strange as it is, and your mother isn't patriotic, the "racism" is simple: buy as much Australian as you can, wear the clothes, and eat Australian food, I recommend eating ethnic national native Australian vegetarian foods, like Australian bush foods cereal, and avocado and Vegemite on grain toast, it still makes you Australian, but you guys are American, so trying things like a vegan chili, and vegeburgers (it's American believe it or not) is a good start, the scientists are already proving and implying that you should be vegetarian, so think of the patriotism in a vegetarian diet.

          I'm only American by birth though, I'm also Brazilian. What else is "ethnic national native Australian vegetarian foods"? And non vegetarian?
