This is a clip made in AUBG (American University in Bulgaria) for a show called More Honors. This show is dedicated to the students of this university, where they are given awards for being artistic, lazy, fresh, etc.

Interesting clip Some of the ideas expressed there; ------- "Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind." Albert Einstein-------- "Nationalism is our form of incest, it is our idolatry, it is our insanity." Erich Fromm -------- "Nationalism is when hate for others replaces love for your own people." paraphrased from Charles de Gaulle-------- Last message there: SCREW NATIONALISM CELEBRATE DIVERSITY

While I agree that nationalism is bad, being patriotic is not bad, and diversity is not good either cause it encourages nationalism and war.

I believe that there is a substantial difference between; - nationalism (highly conditional 'love' towards ones nation) - patriotism (almost fully unconditional love towards ones country) Nationalism 1: loyalty and devotion to a nation; especially : a sense of national consciousness exalting one nation above all others and placing primary emphasis on promotion of its culture and interests as opposed to those of other nations or supranational groups.
Patriotism : love for or devotion to one's country www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/

patriotism and nationalism aren't mutually exclusive, often mean the same thing no matter how much we try to sugarcoat them, patriotism is the medium though which you express your nationalism, both are bi-products of human nature, the need for conflict and to distinguish, education will set people free, nationalism begets instability and friction.

As for the meaning above...You all are wrong.
Nationalism is usually an ETHNIC/RACE Love for their country like Greeks, Albanians, Turks, ECT
Patriotism is NON ETHNIC / RACE love for the country your in... Americans, Canadians, Australians ect. Ppl from different ethnic backgrounds PATRIOTIC to their country.
