What would it take for you to rebel?

I'd hope to be able to emigrate before the trouble really started.

Sure, Nationalism is annoying, but enough to make you rebel? Do you feel like overthrowing the government every time you hear your national anthem sung at a sporting event?

You're from Australia. I don't exactly know the situation in your country, but don't you imagine the Aborigines hate your government?

1) Actually most Aborigines support the ALP government. They recently apologised for the then-governments taking away a generation of Aboriginals many decades ago.
2) Why is the level of support amongst minorities relevant to Nationalism?

Independance - give us our own country. Sorry I wasn't clear at first.

It's nice to hear about the Aborigine relations in Australia, though.

Ah, now I understand. Aboriginals have a fair degree of autonomy in some areas of Australia (Usually the parts no one wants to buy...), but over the last two years the federal government has been intervening in their affairs far more than they had in the decade before that. But anyway, I understand your point now.

The Canadian government have been taking away Native lands supposedly guaranteed by treaty over the past century. Although it has largely stopped now, the reserves are only a portion of what they once were in terms of size. Recently, apologies and financial compensations have been given, but I'd still rather see that land given back. It will never happen.

I hate "my" government.
