Where do third world nations obtain their national pride?
It is easy to understand why larger, wealthier, older, or more powerful states obtain their pride. Top class nations such as the US, UK, Japan, and so forth have a variety of sources of pride (successful democracy, economic/military power, historical significance) and even regional powers and fast growing economies can also have obvious sources of pride.
But what about third world nations? The ones who produce gruesome stories of genocide, or famous for the failed corpes of attempted republics. The nations which completely depend on foreign aid and can be bullied at will by the powers. Where does their pride come from? It can’t come from historical significance, (usually) as many had their borders randomly drawn by Europeans and thus lack common history. They obviously can’t get it from having a functional political or even infastructural system.
Yet somehow, just somehow, these poverty stricken people are somehow able to kindle a small fire of national pride. How do they do it?
They do it out of defiance.
They have been manipulated for centuries by our so-called successful democracies who raped their countries of all the valuable resources then left them with nothing. They can hold their heads up and say they are trying their very best just to survive while Westerners sit on their fat butts whining about their lot in life.
The West were right in there in many cases when minerals, oil, etc, were found and could have done much more to prevent those genocides you mention.
