Patriotism vs Nationalism
(lemmy.world)
Yikes. Is this from the "committee to save endangered ideologies"? Which think tank came up with this lol
The only good fascist is a dead fascist
Patriotism is just a nice word people invented to be proud of their genocidal and colonialist country without feeling too bad about it.
Nationalism is only good when people are fighting colonialism, e.g. palestine or british era India.
Patriotism: Pride in your country for what it does.
Nationalism: Pride in your country in spite of what it does.
Americans fell hard into nationalism after 9/11. They just wouldn’t admit it. Half of them still have their heads in the sand.
As an American, I personally believe that the Pledge of Allegiance is indoctrination.
I remember when I first started feeling like the pledge was creepy so I decided to exercise my rights by not participating. Turns out a lot of people hate our freedoms and don't like it when people use them.
America has done so few things to be proud of and so many things to be ashamed of that it’s impossible for me to feel patriotism.

Let me fix that for you:
Patriotism: Pride in a nation-state.
Nationalism: Pride in a nation-state.

For all the neo-nazis and nazis out there: Nazism is short for National SOCIALISM. As we all know, SOCIALISM is the big bad precursor of COMMUNISM!
Don't be a SOCIALIST by being a (Neo-)Nazi or their quiet supporter!

Brazilian "patriots" bow to USA demands, so they're also dumb
Patriotism is pride in your country.
Nationalism is not knowing the difference between your government and your mommy.
