    I don’t think that word means what you think it means…

        I think it means what the Oxford dictionary defines it means. You?

          You don’t think uncritical and nationalistic dismissal of the “enemy’s” achievements as they must be both strong and weak has a place under “aggressive or exaggerated patriotism?”

          I guess that just makes them a racist then.

            As far as I can tell by their comment history they are American, so I don’t know how is trusting France to be “nationalistic”. Or “patriotic”. Or aggressive, for that matter. Not a hint of militarisitc feeling either.

            I might be racist too, because I don’t trust what comes out of China as much as what comes from France. Or Germany. Or Switzerland. Or Japan. Or south Korea. Or Australia. Or India. Or Kenya. Yes, it must be racism.

                First of all, leave the goalpost where it was and re-read the definition of the word. Nowhere it mentions allies, friends, or the wife of your cousin’s neighbor. So on that you were dead wrong.

                Second, if one trusts Japan or South Korea but not China… You say it’s because of racism. There is no aaaany other reason. Not at all? Really?

                I love the little downvotes, I hope they help with your frustration. Keep them up!
