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.

They mean the same thing FYI ... 

The word you're looking for to describe the situation is 'pride', 'vanity', or possibly even 'arrogant' ...

They have the same basis but a completely different attitude and intent. Like an imam in a soup kitchen and an ISIS fighter.

Patriotism and nationalism are both based on pride but they take a completely opposite approach. Which takes me back to my original comment. Patriotism has never hurt anyone, nationalism has.
