anti-patriotism
Against country love
Anti-patriotism is opposition to patriotism as a concept or practice—the view that national loyalty is misguided, dangerous, or morally suspect.
Where unpatriotic simply means lacking devotion to one's country, anti-patriotism actively rejects such devotion as harmful: Her anti-patriotism stems from seeing nationalism fuel wars.
The term appears in political criticism from both directions.
