GG @Ano, you just advanced to level 5!

thanks

I should mention now what being a nationalist is, beyond the common misuse of the term. Nation is derived from the word natal. A nation is the blood. A nationalist cares about the condition of his immediate and extended blood family.

And the nation differs from the state as nations are the cultural/ethnic/civil affiliation with a certain group

Not fully... I will stand besides my countryman if he's black and shares the same interests for my homeland, damn straight.

A nation is the blood. Ethnicities will arrise out of political, geographical, cultural differences

While the state is a geographical area where a set of institutions create conditions for the monopoly of violence by a particular group

And just because your the same race as me doesn't mean I wouldn't want you dead

@steel inquisitor , I did mention "civil"\

I am aware of civic nationalism

The type of nationalism based more on something like America than, say, China

Civic nationalism is contradictory within the name itself. Racial strangers cannot be a nation because they agree on a concept.

Communism is still civic but not when you have big mean China fucking with it it's not... **as far as I can tell

Lol

China is mostly han chinese

The communism part is practically irrelevant.

Its just slightly symbolic

Btw, in HK pro beijing actually has the connotations of pro business and pro excessive capitalism.

I know that because I live there

It is relevant... they have their own folk slaving away in iPhone factories and clothes manufacturing facilities etc. And what about the Chinese social merit systems introduced?

That's not really even communism

Thats a type of social totalitarianism

And the social merit system is redicolus

It can basically mean you getting better prices on water supplies if you support the reigme.

That's just intolerable

Can we center this back on the video

sure

@steel inquisitor , dm is welcome anytime.

Well

That's just an expression

But you should get the jist

Okay, will keep that in mind @Revolutionaryarmchair ...it's 1 am here though and I'm up early so gotta go.

@steel inquisitor the sweatshops are capitalist institutions of profit

China is by no means a communist nation

They are an authoritarian oligarchy

I agree @Forte58

And I have some remanence of personal experience to back it up

@steel inquisitor , thanks for the messages

See yah later

@Ano , as you were saying?
