Pseudo-patriotism

[novapsyche]

"[T]he new patriots seem to applaud the federal powergrab of the past two months. At least, the new patriotism has no serious problems with it. After all, we’re at war now, it says. It suggests we can no longer afford the convenience of a distinction between society and government, or between patriotism understood as loyalty to the ideals under which the country was founded and blind submission to the yahoos currently running it."
