About this user

"The heights of popularity and patriotism are still the beaten road to power and tyranny; flattery to treachery; standing armies to arbitrary government; and the glory of God to the temporal interest of the clergy" David Hume
"Patriotism ... is a superstition artificially created and maintained through a network of lies and falsehoods; a superstition that robs man of his self-respect and dignity, and increases his arrogance and conceit" Emma Goldman
"Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all others because you were born in it" George Bernard Shaw
"Patriotism ruins history" Goethe
"The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naïve and usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one who likes his country more than the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he sees it debauched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime; he is a good citizen driven to despair" HL Mencken
"Men in authority will always think that criticism of their policies is dangerous. They will always equate their policies with patriotism, and find criticism subversive" Henry Steele Commager
"Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country" Hermann Goering
"During times of war, hatred becomes quite respectable, even though it has to masquerade often under the guise of patriotism" Howard Thurman
"The only real nation is humanity" Paul Farmer
"Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel" Samuel Johnson
"Patriotism is the religion of hell" James Branch Cabell
"Patriotism is as fierce as a fever, pitiless as the grave, blind as a stone, and irrational as a headless hen" Ambrose Bierce
