Patriotism is such a terrible thing in general.
It can be alright if you think your nation's value are worth preserving. E.g. it is Patriotic to defend your country against a fascit invader that wants to remove your nation's self-determination.
I don't think you need to be patriotic to want to defend your country from fascist invaders. That's a purely practical consideration if nothing else.
You can welcome an invasion as a liberation force if no patriotism is involved. Like the eastern front did in WW2 until they realized Nazis were more about creating Lebensraum.
Trying to explain the exact same thing to my parents. Challenge: impossible.
Same here. We gotta aim for the younger generations.
