I'm going to assume you're being purposefully deceitful here since I wouldn't want to think anyone with a keyboard is actually that ignorant.  Nationalism has been a term far longer than the bastardization it's received at the hands of leftists and racists in the last 5-10 years.

According to Merriam-Webster:

[font=Lato, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Definition of nationalism 

1: loyalty and devotion to a nation especially : a sense of national consciousness (see [url=https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/consciousness]CONSCIOUSNESS sense 1c) exalting one nation above all others and placing primary emphasis on promotion of its culture and interests as opposed to those of other nations or supranational groups

It's long been a staple term in political science.  It's an antonym of globalism.  It's long been understood as roughly synonymous with patriotism.
