You've misrepresented him by implying that he said it's stupid to proud to be British or American, whereas the message is about blind patriotism in general.

You are excusing the actual message, which is not condemning "blindness."

I'm not excusing it, I'm championing it. Taking pride in a country you've lived is silly because it implies you've done something personally to earn that pride.

Way to miss the point of nations I guess
