Jingoism Vs Patriotism

Jingoism Vs Patriotism

If nations boast about their GDP and defense strength without focusing on the happiness and health of their citizens, as well as ensuring a decent per capita income, they are not citizen-centric. Instead, they are catering to a few elites and trying to assert their supremacy over weaker nations while engaging in arms transactions. If citizens take pride in such GDP figures and defense capabilities, they may be ignorant of the actual situation or misled by leaders who keep them blind, convincing them that jingoism is equivalent to patriotism. If we fail to understand the difference, we risk remaining unaware of our subjugation, living as slaves without recognising our condition.

A true patriot will critically evaluate what is presented to them and remain unbiased, questioning the status quo and seeking the truth. In contrast, others will celebrate their slavery as being patriotic and brand the dissents as anti-national.

Alternatively, they may bring up personal emotions, like health or family issues. These reactions often occur while the other person is still speaking, leading to a decreased understanding and an increased eagerness to defend one’s position. During this type of conversation, the listener may appear restless, exhibiting a lack of eye contact or head nodding. In such interactions, th...
