it's so surreal how many people eagerly fly the flag and sing the anthem of another nation. Nationalism I can almost understand, but nationalism for another nation (that is largely responsible for our problems; division) has always weirded me out.

and fuck nations, but your land is still your land. It's your culture, your food, your geography and your history. Pretending there's no difference between one land and another is silly imo. I love this land. My hands are scarred from the dirt and my belly is full with the food I pulled from it. I would feel out of place anywhere else.

When you survive eating wild (and cultivated) plants that only grow here, that diet is a big part of who you are. It literally sustains you and sustained your ancestors for millennia.

In any other land the plants that grow and ecosystems that sustain them are completely different and I'd be lost.
