"爱国主义的一个巨大吸引力在于它满足了我们最恶劣的愿望。在我们国家的人身上，我们能够间接地欺凌和欺骗。更重要的是，欺凌和欺骗时，我们感到自己是非常正义的。"

Simplified Meaning:

When people feel a strong sense of pride and loyalty to their country, it often allows them to justify negative actions that they wouldn’t normally consider acceptable. For example, a person might feel it is wrong to be unfair or aggressive towards others in their personal life. However, if they believe they are doing it for their country, they might think it’s okay to act this way because they see it as patriotic and noble. This makes them feel good about themselves even though they are doing bad things like bullying or cheating. Imagine a sports fan who yells insults at the opposing team’s players during a game. By doing this, the fan might believe they are supporting their own team with such behavior, feeling proud and justified, despite being rude and hurtful. Similarly, when people act on behalf of their country, they might engage in harmful actions while feeling that they're heroes. This mindset can be dangerous because it ignores the harm caused to others and is built on a false sense of righteousness. It's important to recognize and question these behaviors, ensuring we act with genuine virtue and respect.
