You can care about a country without buying into obvious propaganda that incentivized blind loyalty and ensures that systems of oppression and exploitation continue to worsen. If there’s such a thing as actual patriotism it’s a clear eyed understanding of conditions, not warrant less faith.

“The Left needs to rediscover its patriotism” is corporate centrist speak for abandon any critique of white supremacist, patriarchal, colonist capitalism and embrace liberal mythologies that run cover for authoritarian exploitation here and around the world. In other words, stop being leftists.
