True patriotism is being able to criticise your country out of a desire to see it be better and requires holding it to higher standards than the rest of the world. Fake, plastic patriotism is spamming pictures of flags while pointing at the behaviour of others as excusing our own shortcomings, if not outright denying them.
Exceptionalism diminishes, cooperation enhances.
