The problem is that patriotism is culturally defined by just going along with whatever the government says or does ir wants to do.

Real patriotism is standing up to it when it's operating or trying to operate out of bounds of and/or contrary to its role.

That's what vigorous support for one's country means. Standing up against that crap.
