What patriotism mean to you

[Raja.Pakistani]

What patriotism mean to you? . It is a simple word that means so many different things to so many different people

Is patriotism your conviction that your country is superior to all others because you were born in it ? Is it blind love and devotion for your country?

Do you think patriotism is defending your country even if your country is going to do something which you feel is not right thing to do for example wage war . Are you not patriotic if you criticise ur country or take criticism from others?

Share your thoughts and Plz no spamming or off topic discussion. Thanks

“Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious.”

“Patriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons.”

“You're not supposed to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who says it.”

“If patriotism is "the last refuge of a scoundrel," it is not merely because evil deeds may be performed in the name of patriotism, but because patriotic fervor can obliterate moral distinctions altogether”

“Patriotism is a pernicious, psychopathic form of idiocy”

Samuel Johnson quotes
