It's not about country, it's about protecting the elites.
What is a "country," a "nation," or a "state" that men are willing to kill other men and inflict destruction upon the planet? A nation-state is an arbitrary construction, born of the blood orgies of the 18th century Enlightenment. When bookish scholars who were never burdened with true responsibility, who never exercised real power, who were willfully ignorant concerning concepts of duty or obligation concoct fantasy to "reform" the sociopolitical matrix of millennia old human condition, the only expected consequences are confusion, mismanagement, and rampant corruption. The only privileges the "rights of men and citizens" guaranteed for humanity was democratisation of violence, that hitherto were the sole purview of the aristocracy and their subordinate solder-slaves. Thanks to the reformers, all of human society are now privileged to directly die in wars that benefit only a few.
If there are certain truths in this misbegotten human world: men have and will be governed by other men; men have and will kill other men; all societies live and die according to the time allotted by the God. That "freedom" and "human rights" have enlarged the pool of humanity to rope into violence in our modern world is but a variable to the above state of human kind. Similarly, the political machinations and scandals that have little to no bearing on the average subject of a society have become democratised, disturbing the average man's serenity with useless and meaningless noise. Whether Biden, Trump, Macron, Johnson, or some other political hack has engaged in self-serving scheme is irrelevant to 99% of humanity. Will impeaching Trump conjure up bread for the supper table? Will humiliating Biden pay this month's gas bills? Will British "independence" provide free electricity? The real world has real problems and require real solutions. The scandals and petty squabbles of the elites are at best an entertainment that waste valuable time and resources that could be utilised to solve real world issues.
It's hard not to get caught up in this pull, isn't it? The more you cast a bad light on someone, the more you will enchant those freedom fighter portions of someone when words fall out of your mouth that smell like you're basically agreeing with them. The personality parts of those who want to draw you to their side will feel confirmed whenever you make the impression that you have fallen. One word is enough, where you characterize someone or something as insufficient and your appeals have become powerless, where you voluntarily place yourself under a higher order.
You will be searched and sniffed for your weak points, and since we humans are usually not saints, the portion of a person who feels subservient to no one will be pleased to have found them and to see confirmed by them that what you have of wisdom about human existence has no relevance for that portion.
This suffering and hating part in one wants to connect with the suffering part in you. By flattery or insult, by eloquence and a long breath. Be assured that appeals to the desire that all sentient beings may be well have power and that those parts that seek to pull one down into their own struggle offer a space for one's own development in maturity. I find it hard to feel grateful for those opportunities and not becoming desperate myself.
As I see it, there is no end to good or evil. It is part of our reality of life.
