Love the them and us politics from Trumpers, I get paid in Dollars, so I like a strong economy in the US, but, I'm in favour of real American values, tolerance, fair-mindedness, outward-looking vision and pragmatism – rather than the Trumpers dogmatism and divisiveness. Their them-versus-us nationalism has more in common with the Le Pens, the Salvinis and the Orbans, and of course the Putin, than with the enduring values of the American people
Why do you think nationalists seem to be doing so well in Europe these days? Or at least, they are doing a lot better than they did before.
Simple, Farage and many others have chosen to forget the massive carnage of two world wars, caused by uncontrolled European nationalism, that they can even contemplate a return to it. They, stand to profit from it, the rest of it, not so much. Stephen Fry who is usually a complete retard, gets it spot on here re Brexit for example.
Despite what morons like pooty/bashy and other left-wing looneys may think, Nationalism does not equate to Naziism. Nationalism is actually a good thing. One should have pride in one's own country and want it to be a sovereign entity and be the master of it's own fate instead of being run by globalist turds who don't respect it, its laws, or its borders.
White nationalism, otoh, is not good. Problem is ignorant leftists think if you call yourself a nationalist then you are basically admitting you're a white nationalist lol. They use the exact same kind of deceptive tactic when referring to people who are against illegal immigration as being "against immigrants" lol. Nothing could be further from the truth though. Illegal aliens are not immigrants.
Yes, it warms my heart to see nationalism thriving in Europe as it is here in the United States.. It shows that there is hope for that continent despite that b**ch Merkell trying so hard to destroy it.
The problem with the world wars wasn’t a problem of nationalism, it was a problem of ethics. Huge difference between, “I’m going to look after my own citizens first and act as if I have a much greater responsibility to them than anyone else rather than act like my cities are ‘world cities’”, and “LETS VIOLATE THE HUMAN RIGHTS OF OTHER PEOPLE IN SERVICE TO THE MOTHER LAND!”
It is very possible to be a liberal civic nationalist.
