Yeah, Bierce is good, more:

"Every patriot believes his country better than any other country . . . In its active manifestation—it is fond of killing—patriotism would be well enough if it were simply defensive, but it is also aggressive . . . Patriotism deliberately and with folly aforethought subordinates the interests of a whole to the interests of a part . . . Patriotism is fierce as a fever, pitiless as the grave and blind as a stone."

“Corporation: An ingenious device for obtaining profit without individual responsibility.”

“Religion. A daughter of Hope and Fear, explaining to Ignorance the nature of the Unknowable.”
