    Words always evolve, but it’s kind of a shame that “patriot” got turned into “I completely lack empathy and am a psychopathic piece of shit bootlicker.”

      Germany was full of patriotic nationalists a century ago.

      The issue is what (concept of a) nation they are patriotic towards.

      For example, these Schweinehunde are cheering for an 1800s version of the US, where coloured people were property and annexing their neighbours was why they claimed to love the military.
