They are not stupid. No more than me and you. They accept that the one who rules is the one who has power. Much the same dynamics take place here on Steemit (minus the killing) .

Patriotism is not just accepting that someone has power. In fact, it has nothing to do with that. It is about feeling an attachment to a place that is DEFINED by being the territorial jurisdiction of a particular ruling class. That's what a "country" is. (I'm not even sure how you think that is at all analogous to Steemit.)
