Of course you can discuss patriotism even with people who are not patriotic, or who are patriotic for different things. That’s what this whole post is for.
It looks to me like the point of the comic is to draw a line between Patriotism, a basic technique for getting your fellow countrymen to help build the country better… and Nationalism, a technique for getting your fellow countrymen to hate each other and turn violent.
Followed up with a bunch of people who don’t even understand the point to “Patriotism” to begin with.
