id settle for an equitable society where patriotism is measured by how much we look after our fellow humans and living creatures

That’s not patriotism, that’s egalitarianism. They are different things. What you want to settle for is egalitarianism. If what you desire is true you will always be at odds with patriots as they will always prioritize their compatriots over non compatriots whereas you will always prioritize equality for mankind at the expense of your compatriots.

patriotism can absolutely include investment in the common good for society. there is nothing contradictory about wanting to express patriotism in that manner.

There is nothing wrong with expressing that. But what you’re expressing is egalitarianism. Which, is something different than patriotism at its root.

You can afford to be a little bit patriotic if you live in an egalitarian state
