Is nationalism the opposite of patriotism ?

President Emmanuel Macron of France speaking today at a ceremony in Paris to mark the 100th anniversary of the first world war armistice ;

"Patriotism is the exact opposite of nationalism. Nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism,” he said. “In saying ‘Our interests first, whatever happens to the others,’ you erase the most precious thing a nation can have, that which makes it live, that which causes it to be great and that which is most important: Its moral values.”

Nationalism is patriotism on steroids (which explains the altered mood, irritability and increased aggression of some)
