Hatriotism is the opposite of Patriotism, and is used by Political Figures to intentionally pass legislation that harms their citizens Standard of Living or Freedom.
An example of this would be the "Patriot Act" signed by George W. Bush, or Joe Biden's proposed 4.7 Trillion dollar yearly tax increase.
Ron: "The Patriot Act was an act of Hatriotism from George W. Bush!"
Hank: "So is Joe Biden's proposal for a 4.7 Trillion dollar yearly tax increase!"
Ron: "An act of Hatriotism indeed."
noun- refers to nationalism contaminated by bigotry. A hatriot defines himself by his nationality, and by how much he dislikes any who disagree with his nation's agenda. Thus, his/her/its(the nations) nationality becomes defined by all that he/she/it do not oppose. Oftentimes, it is considered acceptable to take cheap shots, racial or otherwise, at individuals/institutions that represent oppositional ideas etc.
Similar in nature to branding opposition w/i one's own nation as anti their own nation and its ideals. For example, un-American
jingoism
Hatriotism went hand in hand with unilateralism.
In an unprecedented act of hatriotism, the US House of Representatives voted on March 11, 2003 to replace the 'French' descriptor in French fries and toast with 'Freedom' due to anti-French sentiment caused by France's refusal to join the 'Coalition of the Willing'.
A term best applied to right-wing fearmongers who claim anything non-white and non-Christian to be evil. It's also the force behind such measures as the Patriot Act, the Defense of Marriage Act, and the War on "Terror" (a.k.a. Oilgate).
By keeping the terror alert in America at a constant high through acts of hatriotism, the Bush Administration hopes to distract the average American voter just long enough to win his or her vote this November. Those darned evil-doers.
