Is patriotism a form of racism?

It’s no surprise that nationalists and racists work so well together. While in America racism is politically incorrect, patriotism is not. But how can we really go about praising a nation over people? And what has America done that is so great? Have we completely forgotten 20 Million Indians slaughtered and current events supported by the patriotic masses to kill overseas while making the bankers rich?

Patriotism is a great way to brainwash people into being mindless tools. Submit to your country and accept everything you’re told as a way to accomplish a greater good, the kind you do not understand but are supposed to believe in.

To me patriotism has also caused xenophobia

(thanks, Andre) and created paranoia. A fake sense of superiority and limiting ourselves to our own kind.

But while racism can help us fight a good conscience war against Arabs, Islamic belief is also a wonderful tool to create racist feelings based on belief.

We as non Muslims are less human to them as they are to many of us. Two wrongs indeed.

The elite has no borders and their leaders include people from all nations and religious memberships. We are the ones choosing segregation.

It keeps us from connecting on a level that empowers us to act as human beings vs. sheep who love their herd.
