Is patriotism based on nationality a narrow nationalist thinking? Personally, I think that many people who hold a patriotism and nationality view rarely see them mention complex real-life issues too much, emphasizing that if they change their nationality, they can still do whatever they want. If they want to love that country, they love the country, but ignore the most fundamental question: When your legal identity and your own identity have conflicts of interest, how should you make a decision? Will there be a choice?

Is patriotism based on nationality a narrow nationalist thinking?
Recently, Professor Chen Xuming posted a message saying that the most typical rhetoric of moral kidnapping is based on nationality as the boundary. It depends on which nationality you have entered to determine whether you are patriotic? In fact, patriotism cannot be determined by the country in which country you are in!
He also gave an example to further explain that some people are in a foreign country but are deeply affectionate with the motherland. They not only work actively in promoting the culture of the motherland, but also donate money and materials when encountering natural disasters in the motherland; while some people are in a domestic country but have always hated the motherland, and even do things that undermine the reunification and stability of the motherland. As long as they are not satisfied with their personal feelings, they will mock and attack and vent their dissatisfaction.
Therefore, patriotism cannot be narrowly judged by nationality!
How pale and powerless this narrow nationalist thinking seems to be in front of real patriots!
Some people questioned this, although it is impossible to say that giving up nationality in one size fits all, this also shows an attitude.
Some people also said that changing nationality may not be unpatriotic, but patriotic must not change nationality. If you look closely, there are differences, whether it is different patriotic methods or different levels of patriotism. However, it is undeniable that nationality is the primary manifestation of patriotism, and in a sense it is also the only one.
Someone else expressed that people who love this land and the motherland will change their nationality? Patriotism and love to change nationality? This is as hypocritical as asking to get the divorce certificate after receiving it, and saying that I love you.
Haha, I feel that Professor Chen is unable to resist. However, he was generally willing to communicate with him and did not complain too much.
Personally believe that, in fact, this kind of similar view is really uncommon! For example, Guo Songmin and others once expressed the view that patriotism does not distinguish between nationality! It has also been recognized by some people, which may also show that their opinions and opinions make sense.
But these people often do not think deeply about essential issues and fundamental logical differences.
First, national identity and national identity are slightly different;
Second, people live in real society, and often they are in control. Ignore the real problems and be too idealistic, either fooling yourself or others. After all, you have to know that nationality represents a person's legal identity, and it is by no means a joke. Moreover, many countries also have naturalization oaths and many legal obligations. From this perspective, patriotism and nationality are an ideal view, but it is destined to suffer from huge real dilemmas. The fundamental reason is that many times when facing the social environment, individuals can only adapt and cannot change. What's more, once you change your nationality and immigrate to another country, you may become a minority. So how can some minority people come out and openly sing the opposite tune when a certain emotion is permeated throughout society? At least, in my impression, it seems that such things are rare.
Therefore, I personally lament: Many people who hold a patriotism and nationality view rarely see them mention too much complex real-life issues. This is even a subconscious behavior. These people often emphasize that after changing nationalities, they can still do whatever they want. If you want to love that country, love the country, but ignore the most fundamental question: When your legal identity and your own identity have conflicts of interest, what should you make a decision? These complex issues are often difficult to talk about, and few people will respond publicly. This is also their embarrassment.
In short, I personally think that on this issue, it is too idealistic, either to fool yourself or others. Of course, you should be cautious about this issue. You must neither believe it blindly nor doubt it blindly. It may be the most appropriate to look at it pragmatically.
