    Patriotism is the belief that together we can make this place really lasting and good.

    Nationalism is the belief that no place could compare to your nation and every other nation needs to show fealty.

    I’m ok with patriotism.

    I’m not ok with nationalism.

      the problem is with the definition of “this place”. a patriot’s vision of “this place” is restricted by borders drawn by politicians.

      no sane person should ever “be ok” with that extent of tunnel vision. “this place” should extend to the world we all share.

        I’d prefer countries, especially the US, not fuck with other countries, regardless of whether their goal is “improving” them or not.
