That depends on whom you ask here in the States:
A hippie might say that a patriot is someone who decides to boycott showers, Wal-Mart, deodorant, combs/brushes, scissors, the laundering of clothes, the principles of capitalism/free enterprise, and personal responsibility.
Everyday Joe would likely tell you that a patriot is someone who backs the interests of the United States, who supports our troops, etc. |

1. What do you see as the difference between nationalism and patriotism?
| Quote: | | 2. Some critics have maintained that (unlike modern nationalism, which is a creation of the 19th-century nation state) authentic patriotism (as the Latin 'pater' would suggest) must be based in some form of genophilia and the sharing of ancestors. |
Would any of you agree with those critics? |

Nowadays, while the big globalisation, noone can be a ´nationalist´ or ´patriot´ unless we broaden these terms to ´earthonalism´, and some centuries from now ´universalism´ perhaps?
However, people are working on this issue.

"earthonalist" --- person who´s aware that the earth is the planet (only planet) we all are living on
How did you understand that term, Molly? |
