“Extreme” pride in any country is just nationalism. If we have less of that, then we have gained as a society.
*Edit: Which is not to say that you should take no pride in your home at all. A lack of pride is similarly unhealthy, it leaves you uninvested in the place where you (and probably your friends and family) live. Even if you don’t approve of your current government, I guarantee you there are things to be proud of in your home, and you should take pride in them and work to maintain and improve them.
