“One of the great attractions of patriotism it fulfills our worst wishes. In the person of our nation we are able, vicariously, to bully and cheat. Bully and cheat, what's more, with a feeling that we are profoundly virtuous.”
— Aldous Huxley
Simplified Meaning:
Patriotism lets people act badly by being mean and unfair, and still feel like they are doing something good.
