Both concepts specifically appeal to those who are unable to achieve anything on their own—they serve to recruit these people against their own interests and therefore have parallels with and often the same effect as religion.

    I believe both Patriotism and Nationalism are bad. They are Tribalistic. Group mentality. Social cohesion. Simple-minded ape shit.

    However, I’m a Misanthropic Anti-Natalist and I desire for all humanity to go extinct. I would be full-on Traitor to the Human Species. If I could uplift some of the animal kingdom even they would howl for the blood of Humanity. Fucking nightmare creatures is what humans are. I would release the bioweapons to wipe every last pathetic human from this existence. Then the Earth would sigh in relief.
