  Aren’t you always telling people the burden of proof lies on the person making the claim?

      It’s 2024 and I’m certain that you are smart enough to understand that we live in a global economy these days. Do you really believe that it’s a good idea to make a point of excluding amd harming the rest of the world?

      They are synonyms, you’ll even find the word patriotism in some definitions of nationalism. The difference is that the definition of patriotism never mentions extremism or harming other countries.

      We need leaders that are capable of thinking globally and acting patrioticly.
