Thatās not patriotism. Theyāre nationalists. That they donāt know the difference makes it even worse.

The line is very blurry, but in this context Iām talking about how theyāre used, they can be used to back any idea if they think itās good for the country and āpatriotic.ā Although all that said, giving up the flag really burned the left and sacrificed a lot of power. Nationalism is a political tool and has been used as a tool for a long time.
My comment is entirely addressing political capital and how power is used to get outcomes.
If you refer to what they understand, you canāt use any word. If they donāt like something, itās socialism. If they hate it, itās communism. Itās woke, itās liberal, itās whatever the hell word they can remember from being indoctrinated You canāt lower yourself to their level and still be understandable by normal human beings.
Patriotism is nationalism.
Did you check? Because it isnāt.
