I don't understand extreme patriotism to any country. I see the same thing here in The UK, typically with the chav types, who revel in being "British!!" despite the government not giving a fuck about working class people. I think it's just an identity to some people though, it gives them something to claim and call themselves.
I get feeling a connection to a certain country and "liking" your country sure. It's where you grew up, or maybe if you weren't born there, you either have ancestry from there or you moved there and decided it was "home". What I don't get is the literal "ride or die" mentality some have where they're with their country and government whatever the f it does.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
