But you know as well as I, patriotism is a word; and one that generally comes to mean either my country, right or wrong, which is infamous, or my country is always right, which is imbecile.

Brazilian "patriots" bow to USA demands, so they're also dumb

I will add that ethnicity, religious identification or lack thereof, or nationality doesn't exempt anyone. USA and Christianity aren't the first, only, or last to reinvent and suppress the parts of history we don't like, but we're certainly going full throttle, along with some other states and religions.

Patriotism: Pride in your country for what it does.

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

Let me fix that for you:

Patriotism: Pride in a nation-state.

Nationalism: Pride in a nation-state.

America has done so few things to be proud of and so many things to be ashamed of that it’s impossible for me to feel patriotism.
