It's too simplistic

2018-10-13 22:21:41 UTC  

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.

2018-10-13 22:24:06 UTC  

I guess I just don't get nationalism

2018-10-13 22:24:10 UTC  

Especially ethno-nationalism

Evolution instilled in-group preference in us for a reason

2018-10-13 22:25:04 UTC  

pls update my tag to leftist, fuck liberals

2018-10-13 22:25:20 UTC  

You may not care about nationalism, but your enemies do

2018-10-13 22:25:29 UTC  

And yeah, we have a lot of counterproductive hunter-gatherer traits

2018-10-13 22:25:37 UTC  

I define my "in-groups" though other forms

2018-10-13 22:25:50 UTC  

People who have similar beliefs as me, people who have similar interests, people who have similar moral standings

2018-10-13 22:25:54 UTC  

People with similar experiences

2018-10-13 22:26:11 UTC  

Generally speaking, who is that going to be?

2018-10-13 22:26:19 UTC  

Most people would answer their coutnrymen

2018-10-13 22:26:23 UTC  

Obviously nobody perfectly fits all of those categories

2018-10-13 22:26:24 UTC  

*countrymen

2018-10-13 22:26:40 UTC  

Not really...

2018-10-13 22:26:44 UTC  

Why not?

2018-10-13 22:26:47 UTC  

Especially in America, but I mean, in other countries too

2018-10-13 22:27:11 UTC  

Because I don't have anything in common with some old, rural white dude as a young, urban white girl

2018-10-13 22:27:29 UTC  

Plus class divides

2018-10-13 22:27:31 UTC  

Rich vs poor

2018-10-13 22:27:53 UTC  

And ideological divides...

2018-10-13 22:27:58 UTC  

distance separates people and history forms experience

2018-10-13 22:28:01 UTC  

I mean, I'm a leftist.

2018-10-13 22:28:04 UTC  

these two things form beliefs

2018-10-13 22:28:04 UTC  

Shen, are you white?

2018-10-13 22:28:06 UTC  

Are you American?

2018-10-13 22:28:11 UTC  

No

2018-10-13 22:28:12 UTC  

No

2018-10-13 22:28:13 UTC  

Ah

2018-10-13 22:28:23 UTC  

Well, I can use another example then

2018-10-13 22:28:25 UTC  

David Duke

2018-10-13 22:28:30 UTC  

Former KKK member, hella reactionary

2018-10-13 22:28:33 UTC  

Also a white American

2018-10-13 22:28:41 UTC  

I'm just kidding, yes

2018-10-13 22:28:46 UTC  

I oppose most of what he believes in

2018-10-13 22:28:48 UTC  

Ah, alright

2018-10-13 22:28:50 UTC  

Well, then you

2018-10-13 22:29:03 UTC  

Err

2018-10-13 22:29:09 UTC  

Are you a nationalist?
