hatriotism

The belief that criticising your country is always patriotic. Sadly, it's only patriotic when your criticism is correct and useful. Otherwise, you're just another hater, hiding behind the flag. Applicable to both right-wing and left-wing asshats.

Example 1 - third-generation Italian enthusiastically celebrating the English national football team losing.
Example 2 - proudly being British up until Andy Murray plays tennis, and then you're English, and you've formed an emotional alliance with *insert origin of opponent*
Example 3 - when arguing, we can't give foreign aid when we have people on food banks, having only just voted for austerity and cuts in welfare

Hatriotism

I'm starting a petition.

Hatriotism is an emotional attachment to a nation which an individual recognizes as their homeland. This attachment, also known as national feeling or national pride, can be viewed in terms of different features relating to one's own nation, including ethnic, cultural, political or historical aspects. It encompasses a set of concepts closely related to those of nationalism.123 An excess of patriotism in the defense of a nation is called chauvinism; another related term is jingoism.
