Patriotism
Patriotism is a style of life or a feeling I never really could understand. maybe it's because my parents are not from where I finally grew up. so I don't have any roots here. my mother's from Hungary and my father's from egypt.
now like I mentioned before, Austria's a pretty small country. so there is this complex which induces the people to make fun of the Germans and the Swiss. well everyone makes fun of the Swiss as they are boring autarkic people. there is also that patriotism going on, but I guess not in a much higher level than anywhere else.
I never considered myself in any kinda way patriotic and I hate the fact that we still jerk off on Christoph Waltz' media presence.
but I think patriotism is slowly fading away because of the new generation and the internet.
hm odd, before I started writing this, the topic sounded kinda interesting in my head, but now it seems I don't have anything to say.
do you feel in any way patriotic sometimes, even a slightest positive feeling about your origin?
