My friend, video artist Tom Bugaj, created this great mash-up of international flags (scored by his band, Peacefeather). He annotated it with a great quote from one my hero’s, Emma Goldman as follows:
Indeed, conceit, arrogance, and egotism are the essentials of patriotism. Let me illustrate. Patriotism assumes that our globe is divided into little spots, each one surrounded by an iron gate. Those who have had the fortune of being born on some particular spot, consider themselves better, nobler, grander, more intelligent than the living beings inhabiting any other spot. It is, therefore, the duty of everyone living on that chosen spot to fight, kill, and die in the attempt to impose his superiority upon all the others. – Emma Goldman
