Except you're a part of that team.

extreme nationalism comes and goes based on the state of the world imo

when things are going well it is less prevalent

Telling people to put their god damned 'abolish borders, abolish ice, abolish profit' signs and come be a fucking American with me is harmless.

Telling people to do that, or else consequences

THAT'S where the problems start

(Freudian slip...?)

yea

I think the bigger thing is that people are looking for communities right now.

Nationalism is a relatively safe community to build IMO

It's not necessarily based on skin color.

they just go to some of the shitty communities sometimes

And it has shared interests and characteristics.

unless its ethnic based

I don't want everyone to be an American.

Yeah, that's the culture war.

I don't want to eliminate everyone who's NOT American.

I just want America to be America.

I want Texas to keep being Texas, specifically.

There's people who don't like America as it is. And they see everything as something bigger.

To bad they cant be independent kek

If everyone was America

America wouldn't be superior anymore.

:/

If Everyone was Texas, Texas wouldn't be superior anymore. :\

^ True Texan here.

If everyone is America then nobody is America

For me, I think there's a far bigger issue at play and that's local control.

As the state gets bigger, it gets more distant

You can have the best State in the Union but I get the best Commonwealth

And can tend to greater corruption.

small scale government has lacked attention imo

It really has.

it goes unnoticed

The other thing is that it has been largely crushed.

people just vote for whoever they vaguely know

And is being threatened by the internet

Abso-fucking-lutely.

Local Control

the more local the better.
