Someone in the comments on [the other site] called me a tankie for arguing that the USA has done way worse things than China in recent history, which prompted the meme. Apparently China shooting missiles into Taiwan waters is just as bad as the US bombing schoolgirls or something.

2: undue partiality or attachment to a group or place to which one belongs or has belonged

3: excessive or blind patriotism

Arguing if you or another group is the rightful heir of a culture falls under definition 2) or possibly 3)

Oh, wow. Baited someone that argues about where Rus culture was born 1000 years ago and its relevance to modern events.

Couldn't have asked for a better example of chauvinism.

Too bad Iran, Afghanistan and Greenland are missing data. I wonder what they think
