Realistic. The USA sure as fuck isn’t worth patriotism. But you can bet your ass that if it were ever invaded I would take up arms and fight back.

Human. Defending where you live doesn't require patriotism or nationalism. It's survival.

Sounds patriotic. Nationalist is patriotism to the detriment of other countries.

Dumb, that’s what it’s called. A city can’t stand on its own. The days of a city state were thousands of years ago when population, technology and strategies were different.

huh how is that dumb

[Asker]

also cities are still a thing

It’s dumb because you can’t stop your city from being overrun or starved. It won’t work. The larger country needs to be protected as a city is far too vulnerable to attack and devastation. You would be easily be overcome. The Russians have just bombed the hell out of a Ukrainian city of Bakhmut which has 70,000 people. The Ukrainians have been fighting for months to keep the Russians from encircling the city because once that happens it’s over for the city. The city is flattened right now because Russian artillery has come in range of it. But once encircled, it’s done. You need a country fighting to protect a city like Ukraine is doing if you don’t want that city taken over by rapists and murderers like the Russians. A city cannot stand on its own, not even against city gangs.
