&gt;The nation has provided that person with certain values which she&#x2F;he deeply appreciates and feels strongly about: is that stupidity? Isn&#x27;t it a good idea to determine what those values are and how they relate to other people before you generalize so crudely?<p>Indeed it is important to understand how they relate to other people, but not just people within the artificial boundaries of a nation state.<p>Those values weren&#x27;t spontaneously and independently invented by the artificial lines drawn on a piece of paper, they were developed throughout all human history across the whole planet.
