Sounds a lot like "nationalism in a single country"

You seem to be defining the "nationalism" being discussed here.

Do you know what nationalism is? Because this doesn't seem to be it by any standard definition..

Ekaros Sep 15, 2021 View on HN

Seems quite comparable to nationalism. See Europe in general.

Fomenting nationalism seems like a bad idea.

What would be an example of a nationalist belief that they would try to classify as only patriotism?

fennecbutt Oct 29, 2024 View on HN

I'd say nationalism is really the answer there.

Is nationalism a bad thing? (Required reading is much appreciated.)

That's not nationalism - that's imperialism.
