In order to make "good patriots", as they obviously think themselves, reconsider their deeply rooted world view, the booklet starts out as showing the insanity of adoring certain patriotic heroes. To begin with my own country, all Dutch heroes we have are pirates with an all but exemplary lifestyles (this holds for Spain and England, too). France has Napoleon. Spain has Phillip II. Germany has Hitler. Please mind, I am writing about misguided patriotism. This is usually an extremely tiny percentage of the whole population. Yet, the message of this book is meant for all good patriots (that is, the large majority), not for few misguided ones. The only people who can read this book are profoundly humble people, who do not get emotional when reading my many non-coinciding, unconventional, and sometimes hurting opinions.
