Patriotism is really good to have, as one loves it’s country and will defend it, but also sees its issues and tries to address them in some constructive way.
This is not to be confused with Nationalism, where the thought that your country is the only richeous one and all others are shit to the point you feel superior to the citizens of other nations and don’t want to admit the issues of your country or fix them in any way.
Note: These are loosely based interpretations from me as its 3:30am and I cannot sleep.
