Patriotism and Nationalism are basically the same thing. The distinction is nonsensical, especially in this context.
good ol’ Lemmy’s lack of nuance.
Also, if you vote, you are ethnically tied to, and guilty of, every decision and moral misstep of that politician until the end of time.
You’ll have to explain, since in the comic the main premise of both Nationalism and Patriotism is that “this house is mine ergo it is the best”.
(Also historically the distinction would be that Nationalism is about establishing an ethno-state, while Patriotism is the basically-unconditional loving of your state, be it ethno or otherwise.)
