There is nothing really wrong with patriotism. The problem are nationalists claiming to be patriotic when they're just blind bigots. The difference in attitude is very different between patriotism and nationalism. Like the difference between socially minded Christians and the KKK.

I hope for there to be a world without countries, and patriotism is definitely in opposition to that.

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.
