One of my German friends is rather nationalistic, but he prefers to verbalize pride of his Bavarian heritage.
I've heard even Spaniards saying, "If you say you are a proud American, people think that's fine, but if you say you are a proud Spaniard, they ask, 'Are you fascist?'"
"The Strange Death of Europe" by Douglas Murray is fascinating. I think it is good that Europeans recognize the horrors of the 20th century, but they take it to the point of self-loathing and self-flagellation.
