I agree with Robert Jensen.
I am not patriotic either.
To be patriotic would be to say that I'm not interested in world peace. I would be saying that America is the best country, and therefore every other country is beneath us. I think we should be moving towards making every country feel equal so as to show that we are all working together. We need to work together in order to obtain peace.
That is not to say that I don't care about America as much. I grew up in America, I've learned what it is to be American, and so I have a deep connection to America. I might have a greater love for America because I feel comfortable here, but I still care about the achievement of world peace over my love for my home.
