No one should be proud of where they were born
No one should be proud of where they were born
Pride should stem from good personal decisions or accomplishments given one's situation and life circumstances. Being born somewhere isn't a decision nor an accomplishment.

Came prepared to downvote this for being common sense, but judging by the comments it actually is surprisingly unpopular! Well played.
I don't know if it was intentional on OP's part, but our April Fool's Day rules are in effect at the moment, so posts are expected to be "Popular Opinions" .
Are comments in April fool's mode too? Seems like all the communists took a day off and all the nationalists showed up. The comments here are very unexpected.
Lol. Only the post submissions are expected (though not required) to be Popular for today. Comments, as usual, are open season.
Lol I didn't even see that, fair enough đ
Tribalism is mainly emotional rather than rational and, further, humans feel a need to belong, so choosing the logical take on things like national pride (or pride in one's sport's team, political party and so on) is very unusual and when voiced generally receives an intenselly negativelly response from most others as they are heavilly emotionally invested into their love of, and pride in, things like nation, sports team, religion, etnicity, politics and so on.
