Paradox of loyaty

Good question: Why would disappointment in one’s country inspire increased loyalty?

    Because there is an investment in the way of life and a desire to preserve it. Until it is under threat of leaving, additional action is not required to save it.

    Telling, that the writer equates “detachment from politics” with disloyalty. We’ll be back on an even keel when we can ignore politics with impunity.

  3. Stormy Dragon Says:

    G. K. Chesteron wrote quite eloquently about this very issue in chapter V of Orthodoxy:

    The Flag of the the World

    As he put it, it’s very easy to love something you believe to be flawless and such love ends up being rather shallow an ineffectual. It is a much deeper love that is aware of something’s flaws and loves it anyways.

    True patriotism is hating your country enough to think it ought to be changed while loving it enough to think it worth changing.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
