Trying to explain the exact same thing to my parents. Challenge: impossible.

It can be alright if you think your nation’s value are worth preserving. E.g. it is Patriotic to defend your country against a fascit invader that wants to remove your nation’s self-determination.

You can welcome an invasion as a liberation force if no patriotism is involved. Like the eastern front did in WW2 until they realized Nazis were more about creating Lebensraum.

Like having cancer and AIDS at the same time.
I could be wrong, but wouldn’t AIDS make it way more likely to get cancer? From my uneducated perspective, that seems like it would be a common thing.
Yes. It is normal for your body to have some level of cancer cells, but the immune system constantly keeps cancers in check. As the immune system weakens, cancers are more likely to become problematic. There’s even a group of cancer that is so much more likely to happen in AIDS patients that they’re known as AIDS-related cancers.

All nationalism is brain rot.
Anti-colonial nationalism is fine actually. Not ideal but it is basically “everyone here regardless of more local culture should unite in a combined struggle to overthrow the oppressors” as opposed to colonial nationalism.
At its best, nationalism in some forms can help unify people from disparate backgrounds into an imagined national identity. Unfortunately, most nationalism rots into division instead. Christian nationalism in the US, Hindu nationalism in India, Nazis in Germany. These all reject members of the physical nation in favor of their crazed fantasy version.
Squats, I guess?
Republicans love a thicc booty.
Anyone who has the USA flag on their clothing, vehicle, or other paraphernalia is someone who I will take pains to avoid.

These people are good at mental gymnastics so it must make sense to them somehow.
