If a country needs to overly emphasise an ideal, that’s usually because that ideal doesn’t apply in that country (“Land of the free”, “Democratic people’s republic of …”).
If a person needs to subscribe to patriotism, it’s usually because they have never accomplished anything better in their life than being born in a specific place.
First of all, nobody was talking about civic pride, and second, you have to be really stupid to be proud of something you had no part in accomplishing.
Are you also proud that your neighbour has a nice car?
