Do the Harms of Patriotism Trump Its Benefits?
Patriotism has long been a double-edged sword in society. On one hand, it inspires unity and pride within a nation, fostering a sense of belonging and purpose. On the other, excessive patriotism can lead to xenophobia, exclusion, and a refusal to recognize global interdependence. This question seeks to explore whether the potential harms of patriotism, such as intolerance and aggression, outweigh the benefits, like national cohesion and cultural pride. With rising nationalism around the globe and increasing polarization, this question is both timely and relevant. Join the debate and contribute your perspective!

I voted No. Understanding our roots and history is crucial for a nation's identity.

Look, I care too much about my family to see them living in a society that excludes others.

Patriotism is overrated. Global cooperation is the future. 🌎

Patriotism can be toxic, just look at history! Wars sparked by national pride 🤦♂️.

This is why society is falling apart, too many conspiracy theorists and not enough unity.

Patriotism is exaggerated! It's an excuse for the government to pit us against each other!

All just a distraction! They're using patriots to keep us under control. Think about it! 😠
