Patriotism- Is loving a country but not becoming so enraptured in it that you start trying to force rituals on people on pain of ostracization . Or treating deviation or questioning of aspects of culture ,history , or symbolism as a personnel attack .
Example I don't stand for the anthem during Hockey games i don't think it has any business being there . Once a man said i was disrespecting his son who died in Afghanistan. I told him it was nothing personnel and that i don't need forced rituals to remind me that his son died .I have meet enough of the mental casualties of Afghanistan to last 10 life times .
Nationalism -on the other hand is a plague that throughout history has lead to the most vicious examples of human barbarity and xenophobic idiocy .

Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
