Alright, well then I'll answer yours

Why is it bad?

@SilverLining hello

@The Big Oof

What is the QOTD

To put it simply:

It's bad because a fractured nation will not stand, for one.

Since you're pretty materialistic, we can explain it like this:

What if you're a nation like China, and your country splits apart?

You're no longer a superpower, and are far less capable of defending your now broken up country from outside nations that seek to take it by force. @SilverLining

Nations with large regions of people that don't care about the rest of the country tend to have those regions break away

in short

razorlaze, what are you two debating?

it started here @Snakeisninja

this is when I entered

You mean define cosmopolitan?

No

What I'm asking

is why must national loyalty triumph over all?

Im sry I got here late

@SilverLining It shouldn't.

PLOT TWIST

Define what you mean by triumph @SilverLining

That's a different question than "is it good"

Snake betrays razor haha

If your nation starts killing its people, for example, then it's okay not to align with it, lol

What if you nation stops killing people?

why must it dominate all other loyalties?

I think THAT'S when I'd overthrow it for being inept

It shouldnt

You're using vague terms here

what if its other policies are objectionable?

not really

I am interested to hear razor's reasoning

Your original question

Was

"Why is having dissidents and disloyal people bad?"

lol

hmmmmmmmmmmm

I wonder

That is a different question @SilverLining

You're asking me different things

right, and that's the first in a string of questions

you said it's bad because it underlines national unity
