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.)

so, you got the start, where the similarities were laid out, but you skipped the title and then the rest where the distinction - the differences - were laid out.
you want me to explain the entire thing to you. word by word. panel by panel. 🤦♂️ ffs. You're the sort of person who wears velcro shoes, but not by choice.

Or, I'll you'll bear with me, I reject the arbitrary and contrived difference the comic puts forwards.
You'll surely grant that in real life there is a lot of co-morbidity between the two conditions - even if you personally might not agree that the improvements to the house that the people you label as Nationalist would try to implement. Which is the Patriot's quality.
