Summary

This quote suggests that pride in one's nation, known as nationalist pride, can serve as a replacement for individual self-respect. It implies that individuals may rely on the accomplishments, reputation, or collective identity of their nation to feel a sense of worth or value. In this context, nationalist pride can serve as a convenient substitute for personal achievement or self-worth, potentially allowing individuals to elevate themselves based on the achievements of their nation rather than their own individual qualities or accomplishments.
