what’s the difference between nationalism and patriotism?
In: 1503
There are a lot of biased, America-centric comments here, some of which are just wrong.
Patriotism is love for the country, that’s it. Nationalism is love for the nation, that’s it.
Those Americans who gave their lives fighting the South in the Civil War, they were patriots. The Chechens following Kadirov, fighting for Russia in Ukraine, they are patriots.
The Québecois separatists, campaigning for separation from Canada, those are nationalists. BLM could even be called nationalists.
No “patriot good, nationalist bad” required.
