• Cuando estaba en el instituto me pregunté en un momento dado: "¿Por qué me importa que el equipo de mi instituto gane el partido de fútbol? No conozco a nadie del equipo, no tienen nada que ver conmigo... ¿por qué estoy aquí y aplaudo? No tiene ningún sentido". Pero la cuestión es que sí tiene sentido: es una forma de construir actitudes irracionales de sumisión a la autoridad y cohesión de grupo detrás de elementos de liderazgo. De hecho, es un entrenamiento en el patrioterismo irracional. Esa es también una característica de los deportes de competición.

• I am unable to watch the Olympics due to the blustering jingoism that drenches the event. Has England ever been quite so foul with patriotism? The 'dazzling royals' have, quite naturally, hi-jacked the Olympics for their own empirical needs, and no oppositional voice is allowed in the free press.

• Mi querida criatura, he terminado con todo debate. Pero tú sabes tan bien como yo, que patriotismo es una palabra; y una que generalmente viene a significar o MI PAÍS, CORRECTO O INCORRECTO, lo cual es infame, o MI PAÍS SIEMPRE TIENE LA DERECHA, lo cual es imbécil.

• I wasn’t like, boo hoo, Bin Laden’s dead, but I wasn’t jumping. America’s a very nationalistic country, and in episodes like that of his death, it becomes jingoism. People are drinking, dancing in the street, chanting USA like they’re at the World Cup, like they won it… It’s sick that we turned it into a sporting event.

  Jeremy Scahill

• I did not want 'Battleship' to be perceived as an American war film. I wanted to do everything I could to make the film accessible to a global audience. It felt like bringing an alien component to the film would help take the American jingoism out of it.
