Well here's the Merriam-Webster dictionary definition of nationalism, which seems pretty accurate to me. Maybe that will help people come to a common understanding.

Loyalty and devotion to a nation; especially : a sense of national consciousness 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
