The only people posting patriotic stuff on Facebook are the expats.

I don't get it. If you're so homesick, by all means, come back.

But they never do. The expats are just like the Ankh-Morpork dwarfs who weep in their tankards about the good old mine they came from but wouldn't even think about going back to it.

That's not patriotism, that's nostalgia - the same way I am nostalgic about my childhood but wouldn't want to relive again. It's oh so easy to advocate for something when you're at a safe distance.
