We still have patriotism but it comes out in short concentrated bursts, like when there's a royal wedding/baby/baby wedding or when an international football tournament is on; it's not inconceivable that we will one day start a war over the result of a World Cup game
“The larger the group, the more toxic, the more of your beauty as an individual you have to surrender for the sake of group thought. And when you suspend your individual beauty you also give up a lot of your humanity. You will do things in the name of a group that you would never do on your own. Injuring, hurting, killing, drinking are all part of it, because you've lost your identity, because you now owe your allegiance to this thing that's bigger than you are and that controls you.” - George Carlin
