Merriam-Webster Dictionary Redefines Nationalism and Jingoism
Merriam-Webster and other online dictionaries have updated the definition of nationalism to emphasize "excessive favoritism" and associations with Nazism. The hosts argue that these linguistic shifts are politically motivated responses to leaders like Donald Trump, Emmanuel Macron, and Justin Trudeau. The term jingoism is discussed as a more historically accurate but less frequently used alternative for extreme patriotism.
