Being “proud” of your acheivements is fine.
Being “proud” of your country or your state or your football team that you’re not a member of,or your ethnicity is douchebaggery.
My country is ranked most patriotic in the world, at 94%.
I’m part of the 6% who isn’t patriotic. I’m instead proud of THAT. Especially since we have an extreme football fandom that I’m really getting tired of being a part of, mostly due to the hooligans that resulted from this. After the last World Cup, I just stopped caring.
Pride, like most emotions or feelings, exists on a range. You can be proud of all of these things, including your achievements; it’s the degree to which you carry that pride that determines the “douchebaggery,” don’t you think?
The sports team, I would say, probably has the lowest “douchebaggery threshold,” as the spectator is so far removed from the team—especially for professional teams—whereas the others carry more involvement and/or stake for its community.
My mam has a union jack she flies outside her house. I always say “do you forget what country you live in?” To her all the time about it
