@soft_chomps@glitch.social Honest question: Is there a difference? It seems like Nationalism is basically "Patriotism only moreso" and both are toxic af. D:

http://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/an-important-distinction I think this comic does a better job illustrating the difference than I ever could.
@Wrothmonk @soft_chomps@glitch.social That is an excellent summary.
@mawr @soft_chomps@glitch.social Patriotism is "Hey look how great my country is, come help make it better!", while nationalism is "Hey look how great my country is, now stay out because I'm better than you!"
One is good. The other is very very bad.
