I almost feel bad saying this.

Easily hateable people get hate. It’s just a fact of the internet. If you don’t want hate, don’t be so easy to hate.

Patriotism is hateable. That’s just a fact. You, being patriotic, are also hateable.

A hateable person is not a bad person. A hateable person is a person who isn’t afraid of their own opinion.

If one person nagging at you for patriotism is going to get you down, then maybe it's time to stop being hateable.

Otherwise, join the club.
