re: #152 Fozzie Bear

I think it’s important to recognize that there is a benign appreciative form of patriotism, and then there is a darker version. American patriotism comes in both varieties.

All patriotism does, not just the American version. And I agree, it is important to recognize the difference.

I think the difference, however, should be clearly marked as “patriotism” on the one hand, and “nationalism” on the other.
