See this is my issue with some of the statements in here. Nationalism is nationalism. Its not fake or "faux", it's just something that happens. People identify with something enough it becomes part of the culture. And whether people like the food/coffee/drive thru lines/etc.. or not, it is stil a part of the culture.
I'm not saying nationalism is always good (its definitely not), but there are far worse things that could be considered part of our culture than a mediocre coffee shop. Like guns or obesity, or bad food (in the case of England). Do you think England likes being associated with bad food?

Sorry not sure how to spell it. Nice of you to pick out a tiny, random spelling mistake though.
