Opposition to patriotism or nationalism; the belief that love of one's country causes more harm than good.
From 'anti' (against) + 'patriotism,' which comes from Latin 'patria' (fatherland/homeland). This 19th-century coined term emerged as thinkers questioned whether nationalism was beneficial.
Some philosophers like Bertrand Russell argued for 'antipatriotism,' claiming that blind nationalism caused wars and human suffering, making this word central to important 20th-century debates about international cooperation versus national loyalty!
