I fail to comprehend why people are proud of their country & town/city just because they were born & raised there

I comprehend it even though I don’t always agree with it.
People like to feel a sense of pride in where they’re from, what their people have accomplished. It’s been that way forever.
A lot of countries have achieved a lot in their histories, so there’s a lot for people to be proud of despite whatever flaws their countries have.
Besides that, it’s good for marketing to your own citizens.. getting their buy in to support the government of the day, maintain stability etc. Its good business practice for governments to sell this stuff to citizens and have them eat it up.

Maybe if there was parades and a tradition of drinking red beer St. George's day would be as popular as Paddy's.

its a remnant of ape evolution and it was logical at the time.
tribalism: its healthy and beneficial to be a part of your own tribe. But after the development of agriculture and nations its not as relevant, systems are meant to interconnect to 150 other systems, it gets exponentially more difficult after that. when the population is 100 million it is not nearly as relevant. when the population is world they are often just competition. Although generally, people all over the world are helpful, but can be financially competition. Without UBI this can become an adversity.

He makes a ominous appearance from time to time.
