THE VOICE OF REASON Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.

Shocking scene of leftists, women and BAME Assembly members ganging up on gay white man
Isn't a patriot a nationalist? If not, what is the difference? I would define nationalist as someone who believes in nationalism, and nationalism as government in the national interest.
A patriot is someone who claims to love his country and is prepared to unquestioningly die for the foreign policy and foreign wars of its leaders. A nationalist is someone capable of considering abstract ideas of national interest.
