It's too simplistic
It's terrible, but it's fun to whip out when you get shit results like this and want to be edgy.
It would make far less sense to be a nationalist and a free market capitalist. They are pretty much contradictory.
I guess I just don't get nationalism
Especially ethno-nationalism
Evolution instilled in-group preference in us for a reason
pls update my tag to leftist, fuck liberals
You may not care about nationalism, but your enemies do
And yeah, we have a lot of counterproductive hunter-gatherer traits
I define my "in-groups" though other forms
People who have similar beliefs as me, people who have similar interests, people who have similar moral standings
People with similar experiences
Generally speaking, who is that going to be?
Most people would answer their coutnrymen
Obviously nobody perfectly fits all of those categories
*countrymen
Not really...
Why not?
Especially in America, but I mean, in other countries too
Because I don't have anything in common with some old, rural white dude as a young, urban white girl
Rich vs poor
And ideological divides...
distance separates people and history forms experience
I mean, I'm a leftist.
these two things form beliefs
Shen, are you white?
Are you American?
No
No
Ah
Well, I can use another example then
David Duke
Former KKK member, hella reactionary
Also a white American
I'm just kidding, yes
I oppose most of what he believes in
Ah, alright
Well, then you
Err
Are you a nationalist?
