Like theres no skin there.

2018-02-14 01:39:46 UTC  

shall I post more to help uncover this mystery?

2018-02-14 01:39:54 UTC  

Also, I have the stomach flu so Id rather not imagine the discomfort.

2018-02-14 01:49:02 UTC  

I think the weakness of civic nationalism is that it is weak to outside cultural influences, which is ironically supposed to be what it's strength is. I prefer the nationalist state to an ethnostate, don't get me wrong, but we do have to acknowledge the flaws in civic nationalism.

2018-02-14 01:49:32 UTC  

elaborate.

2018-02-14 01:50:08 UTC  

"weak to outside cultural influences" this 'weakness' could be defined two different ways depending on which side you're on.

2018-02-14 01:51:52 UTC  

Well, for instance, this issue Europe has with mass migration. The idea behind civic nationalism is that anyone coming into the country in question adopts it's values and traditions, or at least celebrates them, but what do you do with large groups of people coming into your country that won't 'play ball', so to speak? Civic nationalism is great, as long as everyone agrees to the conditions of it, but when large groups of people are coming into your country that don't agree to these conditions, I think eventually it will dissolve the state over time.

2018-02-14 01:52:34 UTC  

this is true

2018-02-14 01:52:44 UTC  

Agreed mostly

2018-02-14 01:52:54 UTC  

but mass immigration isn't a product of civic nationalism

2018-02-14 01:53:04 UTC  

And I admit, this is mostly an issue with mass uncontrolled migration in the first place, more than anything else.

2018-02-14 01:53:25 UTC  

I think I was just pointing out that this wouldn't happen in an ethnostate, although it does come with it's own problems, yeah.

2018-02-14 01:53:32 UTC  

weren't you a wolf before

2018-02-14 01:54:04 UTC  

wat

2018-02-14 01:54:09 UTC  

Geh, yes, indeed I was.

2018-02-14 01:54:53 UTC  

Nid, I was simply bored.

2018-02-14 01:55:22 UTC  

It's one point on which me and an ethnonat agree

2018-02-14 01:56:18 UTC  

But furthermore it's a counterpoint to your statement, Civic Nationalism would not allow for mass immigration

2018-02-14 01:56:18 UTC  

One issue with an ethnostate, especially when it comes to smaller countries, are concerns of genetic diversity.

2018-02-14 01:56:42 UTC  

In much the same way an ethnonat would defend teh core of their race

2018-02-14 01:56:48 UTC  

Not inherently, I suppose, but it is what is being allowed right now by many western countries.

2018-02-14 01:56:49 UTC  

a civic nationalist would defend the core of their nation

2018-02-14 01:57:23 UTC  

Nationalism as a whole has been given a dirty name over the past couple of decades, which I think is one of the core problems, yeah.

2018-02-14 01:57:53 UTC  

Globalism is the opponent of nationalism, and the dominant force.

2018-02-14 01:58:30 UTC  

I think globalism, like communism, is an eventuality, but we're just not there yet or even anywhere close to it.

2018-02-14 01:58:44 UTC  

lel

2018-02-14 01:59:06 UTC  

I came in the middle of the conversation, but, are you serious?

2018-02-14 01:59:12 UTC  

Yes.

2018-02-14 01:59:21 UTC  

from my cold dead hands

2018-02-14 01:59:23 UTC  

Communism simply does not work for humans.

2018-02-14 01:59:36 UTC  

It would have to be forced

2018-02-14 01:59:38 UTC  

I think a globalist structure COULD exist with nations remaining independent.

2018-02-14 01:59:42 UTC  

There will come a point where our quality of life will be so great that we won't even need money, but again, this is *way* into the future.

2018-02-14 01:59:54 UTC  

But any true globalism would be too authoritarian, or it would not function.

2018-02-14 02:00:27 UTC  

Another point Ethnonats get is that, western society can't go into a non-western nation and fix that nation.
