Why in the fuck are we praising patriotism here? It’s literally just religious-like devotion to a nation state, and basically result of nationalism

Wanting to improve your society is a form of patriotism.

America are the one who have convinced everyone it’s the opposite

Yeah it’s so fucking backwards. I should be considered a patriot. I want Americans to have access to Healthcare and education. I want Americans to thrive and do great things. But no… Apparently the definition of patriotism over here is “I don’t care about other people, I only care about me, and also, kill brown people in other countries”
It could have been different. We’re in the wrong timeline
