Nationalism is the worst of all 'isms

A "against all forms of imperialism" person like yourself should actually celebrate this holiday more than most, since taking the colonies from the British was the first domino to fall that eventually led to the dissolution of their empire. Just imagine if we sat on our hands? The British would've eventually conquered all of North America, and them controlling this land, with all its natural resources and perfect geopolitical location (meaning sharing no borders with a France or Germany, basically making the land uninvadeable), in addition to controlling India and British Hong Kong (which gave them a strategic position should they ever want to take over China wholesale), would basically give them control of the entire world.
Complain about US foreign policy all you want, but we come nowhere close to ruling with the iron fist the British Empire did.
For a guy whose circle of friends and coworkers is only currybreaths, you should be celebrating any holiday that denigrates the British.
Splits is my dude, but I just don't get his fervent anti-Americanism?
He's correct that Nationalism is the worst of all -isms, but we're talking about patriotism here, which is a totally different thing.
I know he'll talk about our foreign policy as the reason for his positions, but when you compare us to every other Empire/Superpower in human history, we're relative angels. This isn't an excuse for some of our geopolitical ups, but the US isn't unique nor are the "enlightened, tolerant, progressive" nations of Europe blameless. In fact, trace the cause of all these hotbed geopolitical situations around the world, and you can all trace the source of the poverty, violence, civil wars, etc, etc to European meddling.
We were also perfectly content to remain isolationist with our burgers and baseball, but the "progressive, enlightened, tolerant, and peace-loving" Europeans kept drawing us into their .
So we had to assume the throne, because when Europe ran things in the 20th century, it was a multi-million genocide of a people seemingly every decade. Why do you think the first huge wave of immigrants were Europeans? Such a progressive place to live![]()
History has shown us that Communism has killed exponentially more people than Nationalism
I would say that Soviet Communism and Maoism were underpinned by a frothing-at-the-mouth nationalism.
I define nationalism as a blind love of country that deludes a person into believing whatever their country does is always morally right.
Patriotism I would define as a "tough love" of country. You're aware of your country's faults and you want to know what you can do to help fix them.
That said, a lot issues aren't simple black-and-white affairs.
He's a fully cucked leftist, and America isn't socialist enough for him.
No he isn't. Nationalism in moderation is a good thing, as long as you don't go full Nazi. Globalism has been a dumpster fire. And patriotism is just nationalism on an individual scale.
What's the problem? The Supreme Court gave you the right to marry a few months ago.
I think Splits was talking about the Nazi form of Nationalism, as was I. The idea that your country is superior to all and you have the given right to expand into and subjugate other lands.
I take it you're talking about Civic Nationalism?
Throw us Jared Goff & Aaron Donald then
i.e. today's America
Acting like CN has any idea what you're talking about
He's Donald Jr. Has the intellectual depth of puddle.
Mornin', s.
It's afternoon, stick.
Not here, sweetheart. It's morning and Durant ain't comin' to San Antonio.
How do you like that, s?
The US has more blood on its hands than any other government. You guys need to wake the up.
Just because you were lucky to wake up one last time does not make it morning. Hopefully it was one of your last.
And I love your Los Angeles Worriers, means we only have 1 team to beat.
Let me know when the US kills 50 million of its own people in purges.
You need to the wake the up and quit buying into moonbat propaganda, as I've told you before.
Feel free to provide evidence, though, that the US government has killed more people than the English Government, German Governments, Russian Governments, Maoist Government, North Korean Government, etc.
Go on, angel, make that silk purse outta that sow's ear.
tee, hee.
In the last 15 years?
nationalist gonna Nationalist
