Nationalism, and over prideful, leads to fascism. It's just a fact of life So, how can you still be a proud person, without it turning into fascism

One simple thing really. Be your nations biggest critic. The whole problem with Nationalism is that it motivates people to look away and ignore the issues in the country which means they never get addressed. Small problems leads to bigger ones which eventually results in a completely dysfunctional society run by madmen that nobody wants to acknowledge are evil.

If you love something then you want it to be better, to improve, to fix what is wrong. If you have fallen so far that you can't see the problems then you are in deep into the sauce. Its an easy trap to fall into as well, demonstrated by the millions upon millions of people all around the world who inadvertently ends up as nationalists and damaging the nation which they claim to love.

As for avoiding how to be a fascist? Eh.. Just try not to hate people I guess. Fascism is just ideology for emotional snowflakes trying to backstab each other for personal power.

I'm a hardcore leftist so I'm biases in that way. To me there's barbarism or there is socialism. There's someone stronger that steals what they can or we all share evenly.

We are only as strong as our weakest defense and raising tides raises all ships. We are all in this together or we all die by each other's hands.

Be proud member of your fellow neighborhood and grow from there. As you grow everyone is your fellow neighbor. Your lifes are both individual yet intertwined. Only together both can reach the sky.

Be patriotic by challenging your reps, organizing, paying taxes, law abiding, canvassing, writing, protesting. Who gives a rats ass for an anthem? That's a childs conception of patriotism.  FYI MAGA: This image is NOT patriotism. It's violent racism.

Nationalism is stupid anyway. “Oh my country is better than your country.” “No my country is the greatest country on earth.” It’s all pointless and makes you look like a brainwashed idiot.
