Patriotism is no different from being proud of something you're a part of. Like being proud of what your friends and family do. Or being proud of winning a Hearthstone tournament. You were not directly involved in those achievements but there is nothing wrong with taking pride in it and being happy that're somehow part of it.

I really think you're confusing patriotism with nationalism.

Why would you take pride in something that you're not involved in? Pride is satisfaction derived from one's own achievements, so if you're not involved with the achievement it doesn't make sense.

What about a parent being proud of their child's accomplishments.

They are proud of their child. They are not proud of themselves for possibly having a hand in what their child did if they even did have a hand in it.

Your definition of pride is very selfish.
