Who said, "patriotism is a pernicious, psycopathic form of idiocy"? He also said "patriotism is the conviction that your country is superior because you were born in it." That was George Bernard Shaw.
Unlike Johnson, who attacked phony patriots, Shaw took the absolutist position that there is never any such thing as admirable patriotism.
Neither Shaw quotation made it into bartleby.
