Patriotisim is a silly concept.
Governments like them because they can be used to control people... here is your little flag to wave, here is your little song to sing, now be good little boys and girls and do as you're told...
John Lennon had a much better idea on "Imagine"...
Its is quite ironic that we, the oldest colony in the Pacific, genuinely celebrate the independence of our colonizers from their own former colonizers annually with little to no thought given to our own sovereignty as a Pacific Island nation. Over the course of 100+ years the divide and conquer ruling tactics and strategies of our current colonizers have successfully skewed our mentality and worldview as Micronesian Pacific Islanders to the point where ethnic CHamoru's are, and have been, attempting to disassociate themselves completely with the term "Micronesian." Merely the thought of a sovereign, united Marianas Islands Nation/Sinahi Archipelago seems unethical and unappreciative toward our colonizers and counterproductive to our economic and social development in our colonized minds. Yes, complacent with the status quo life of second class citizens in a colony unincorporated to its colonizer, our 500+ year history of foreign rule has forced a life of dependency on our peoples and instilled a collective mentality of indomitable gratitude and allegiance to our colonizer so much so that the natural, god-given right to self determination as an indigenous peoples guaranteed by the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People of the United Nations seems "unpatriotic." "Patriotic" can be defined as "having or expressing devotion to and vigorous support for one's country" and in that sense the most patriotic thing we can do is fight for our own political self determination. So when answering the above question truthfully and wholeheartedly one must ask themselves "how can one be part of a country and be unincorporated to that country at the same time?"
Very patriotic, but not blindly patriotic.
