what’s the difference between nationalism and patriotism?
In: 1503
Patriotism: From “Patris”, greek for homeland/fatherland -> acting in interest of the homeland. This word is locality bound
Nationalism: Acting in interest of the nation/ your people, thats why revolutions and independence fights are called nationalistic and not patriotic. It’s not locality bound.
Chauvinism: Degrading other or some nations as inferior compared to your nation
Nationalism does not necessarily encompass chauvinism. And it’s not its original definition despite many wanting it to be. This is an example of the cultural fight about words and the meaning of it happening, thus making it a taboo across society to furthen his own agenda (which the left won here)
