Patriots support the fundamental ideas of the nation, nationalists just support the nation.

it's just a matter of splitting hairs. some people want to fight, die, and have something to fight for and die for, some people want to run away, some want to hide. in a world where we either have to be victims or victimizers, is there some way to find an alternative consciousness?

Nothing...nothing at all. Nationalism and patriotism are essentially the same thing.
