Here's a real gripe of mine
I wish nationalist didn't get the negative connotation that it's received
to me I consider a nationalist similar to a patriot, someoen who loves and thinks their country is superior to others for many reasons
I dont' think that it now has a racist element to it when I dont' think it it should
@LotheronPrime i agree being a nationalist is a good thing not a bad thing lefties say
Nothing racist about having pride in your country
Patriots are proud of their country
Nationalists want the best for their country
I guess im both then
Probably doesn't help that during the Bush admin, Patriot became "the President is always right"
I'm both
but then you start adding race tot he mist
mix
white nationalist
is that white people who want the best for their country
or white people that want a white ethnostate
semantics I know
The latter
but is it?
true Beemann
People tend to mix "Patriotism" with "Chauvinism"
I think people probably abuse it to mean the former
But if you're civnat then race doesn't matter
correct
It can be both
White supremacists can be nationalists
In fact that's probably a key component lol
put simply
Patriotism = "America is Great"
Nationaism = "America first"
Chauvinism = "anyone who's not loyal is a communist nazi cotton picker!"
hell, Im' almost all three
The focal point of loyalty is the key
from a culture perspective I mean
not necessarily any individual administration or political party
but merely the American way of life
loyal to "our cause"
meaning that anyone who's not part of your cause is an irredeemable sinner (SJW mentality)
The point of America's system is to not put all trust in the President
right
culture should be more important
Which is why the Bush admin stuff was trash
that lasts centuries
presidents last 8 years at mosts
americas system is "We trust you with the power, at OUR discression"
bush and obama were trash
