True or False: Pointing out flaws in your country is patriotic.

[SardiniaAtlantis]

Rate the truthfulness of the following statement to yourself:

People either citizens or Politicians who constantly point out things that they perceive to be wrong in the country are patriotic, after all the only way to overcome flaws is to first state what they are.

Sometimes it is, but there are fake flaws, and flaws that are taboo to expose, as well.

Absolutely. You can't make oil the cog to work better if you're not willing to search for the place where it sticks (I don't think that's a saying, but you get the idea).

A flaw for some people, a virtue for others.

For example the heavily USA multicultural society is a virtue for you, and a execrable thing for other americans here.

Even without the mass immigration the US has had in recent decades from Asia and Latin America, it would still have African Americans (who since independence have always hovered between 10-15% of the population), plus countless European groups. In many ways, the US' multiculturalism is more value neutral rather than necessarily positive or negative.

'neutral' is a subjective valuation with which other people can disagree too.
