jingoistic
This term carries a heavy negative connotation, describing a brand of nationalism that is not merely proud but actively hostile and bellicose. It suggests a blind, aggressive devotion to one's country that justifies bullying or invading others to prove superiority. It is most frequently used in political analysis and historical critiques of imperialism.
Because it describes a specific ideological stance, it is often contrasted with healthy patriotism. While a patriot loves their country, a jingoistic person uses that love as a weapon to incite conflict or demand military intervention. It evokes an image of loud, theatrical bravado and irrational anger toward foreign entities.
Meanings
Characterized by extreme patriotism, especially in the form of aggressive or warlike foreign policy.
