The terms “nationalism” and “patriotism” are often used interchangeably.
This is understandable, as they have somewhat overlapping meanings,
both of which suffer from a certain amount of vagueness. However, there
are a number of key differences between the two that are worth shedding
light on. In the final analysis, we believe that the term “nationalism,”
while not denoting anything totalitarian by its nature, is not an
accurate term for the sentiment that exists in the United States.
Nationalism, it would seem, is more suited to Europe or Asia, places
with historic nations, united by common language and ethnicity that are necessarily tied with a certain area of land.
