fake news

the mighty nationalists of sparta

since nationalism was a thing

why did the macedonians unite the greeks against the persians?

You want to treat distinct identities as mere nothing in order to make people mix <:tomwtf:517652784019931147>

being *american* makes up that much of your identity?

nah

are you really nothing more than your country?

why did the franks fights off the saracens at tours?

how sad?

yeah thats sad

being of mixed european/jew stock is what makes up my identity

really?

your ethicity is who you are?

you are an enlightened citizen of the world, unbound to mere ideas to people prefer to associate among themselves

I am more than my country, hence why I got other labels except nationalist

yes our tribe is what makes us who we are lol

the irish resorted to terrorism to unite the island

That's reductive and asserts the base identity is one beyond the individual, which requires more assumption than otherwise. You can easily argue diversity of the individual and I fail to see how they are not distinct identities.

but I guess they didn't hear your POV

because nations are a spook

you are hilarious

Well, no, since self-determination is a thing.

But self-determination isn't

>self-determination

you mean nationalism?

no

yes

you are autistic

... no

@Irish Princess identity of the many > identity of the one

so youre telling me if you migrate to another country youre a nobody

I will never become chinese

I will never become japanese

the effect on your identity is so great that your self esteem simply collapses

I will never become indian

since nationalism asserts your nation above others to the extent of singular view, which is reductive and a stupid way of viewing the world.

exactly

uhh if you migrate to another country filled with people different than you, you're still your home ethnic group. For example, a german moving to america is still a german lmao

maybe your self esteem collapses, my nation is part of my identity

it's who I am, and who I can relate to
