unpatriotically
Against one's country
In a manner that shows lack of devotion to one's country or that betrays national loyalty.
The word typically appears in accusations rather than self-description: Critics claimed he had acted unpatriotically by opposing the war.
What counts as unpatriotic varies wildly depending on who's judging.
