Question

what’s the difference between nationalism and patriotism?

In: 1503

Answer 1

People say “patriotism” when they are talking about themselves and people they agree with.

People say “nationalism” when talking about people they don’t like.

Every nationalist thinks they are a patriot. Most self-declared patriots will insist they are not nationalists (including those that other self-declared patriots would very much call that in order to distance from them).
