We are just not there yet where we can let go of nationalism based on countries.
Unfortunately. But it's a whole practical problem with resource allocation, economy, having a territory, regulations...even with countries we can do a lot (fairer trade, fairer immigration, fairer wealth allocation...]
Is celebrating everyone that wants to be in a country cos they like it, and sharing/celebrating not at least better than pure "you are not born here or you have the wrong cultural flavour/skin colour AND my place is superior so feck off nationalism?" (which is brewing in many EU countries atm... blegh)
Starting wars against others cos nationalism or being proud of being born somewhere yeah, er, wot? Or "citizens of nowhere" ballix?
