Patriotism is loving your country and wanting it to prosper. Nationalism is believing your country is superior to other countries and seeing all others as adversaries.

It's the difference between working on self-improvement because you care about yourself vs. wanting to take things from others and being paranoid about them taking from you.

Patriotism: Pride in your country for what it does.

Nationalism: Pride in your country in spite of what it does.

Patriotism is great because patriotism is about loving what a country stands for.

America no longer stands for freedom and justice for all. But anyone who loved those ideas before can still stand for them now.

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!

This is a premier example why we need to stop using those terms altogether.

Yes, history is cyclic, but we ought to give more credit to the zeitgeist we face today.

Never in our history have we seen such an efficient conglomeration of religion, supremecy, and hate groups working in unison.

They deserve new, fresh words. Something catchy to yell, as we throw molotovs at them..
