Is this person correct? Are most people in China and Vietnam intensely nationalistic and patriotic? (lemmygrad.ml)

Many people are but being a nationalist in countries that are historically on the business end of imperialist violence (China, Vietnam, Cuba, etc.) is fundamentally not the same as being a nationalist in a country that's perpetrating that violence (USA, Europe, etc.).

"Patsocs" are dishonest reactionaries that draw a false equivalency between those two types of nationalism to excuse their support for imperialism and colonialism.
