Because it's supremacist colonialist bigotry to admit to liking your country
is that sarcasm?
It tis the language of my people
I could understand how being nationalist could be a racest thing if you consider race part of your national identity.
but for me that has never been the case.
or for where i live, our national identity is based on values more then anything else.
Race isn't part of American identity
right, so being an American nationalist isn't a bad thing.
^
Just means you love America
And the people who love it as well
Being a nationalist is never bad
Being a jingo is
infact i would say being an American nationalist is one of the best things you could be.
I want to see every country be the best it can be, i'm still always going to think mine is the one worth rooting for just like people do with their football teams.
and that's part of the fun of the sport!
if dems cared about their neighborhoods and neighbors as much as they care about telling everyone else what to do, they wouldn't have so many homeless and people shitting in their streets.
that is a fact
I might be biased considering my parents fled the gulags of China and Cambodia to here. I'd say we've got the best damn thing going here. Modern day leftists/socialists/communists *insert -ists* nowadays have no clue how good we have it here.
you can be a "my neighborhood is #1" person without being evil or opressive
I think nationalism is connected to race, it can exist outside of it but for the most part they exist together
Only when your nation is defined by ethnicity
For most nations yes they're hard to be decoupled with race, tho for 'Americans', that's not easily distinguishable anymore. It's become a lot more diverse due to all the immigrants of the world and it is more united by culture than race.
America is defined by ideals
no, it just happens to have worked out that way before lots of traveling was easy
Not traits
nations tend to have similar races because they were historically that way
now, we have mass migrations happening
Id say the white american identity is different than the black american identity
they tend to exist together because nations were built by a closely related group of people (AKA a race of people)
a country like America is NOT based on race, so the nationalism itself isn't the problem.
identity is only different if you think it is, it's a subjective state, not based on reality
the identity is only diffrent because people want it to be.
insted of being about color it could just as easy be about location, and we have that to some point.
Americas only trended that way in the last 40 years, its been mostly white for all its history
since it's not based on reality, people can say 'i identify as a flying stapler"
and the number of people surprised is 0
Someones identity can be recognised by other people, some people can tell the difference between an australian and a canadian just by looking at them
NYC, so I predict not a favorable ruling for 2A. But I would love to be disappointed
So i wouldnt say its all make believe
Thats scotus you nonce
Not scny
And that makes it better?
