antipatriot
Against one's nation
An antipatriot is someone who opposes or works against their own country's interests, or who rejects patriotism as a value.
The term is typically used as an accusation rather than a self-description: The senator called the protesters antipatriots.
It carries stronger connotations than simply unpatriotic—suggesting active opposition rather than mere indifference.
