A lot of us in the anarchist sphere of thought have started poking fun at the nationalist "we" by saying things like, "Got a mouse in your pocket there?"

Britain in particular has a long history of propaganda. Prof CJ (officially retired from teaching a few days ago) has a long Dangerous History Podcast episode on their World War I campaign against the US. You might find it interesting.
