Religion is often an important component of nationalist thought but I’d challenge that you could classify a nationalism based primarily on religion unless it’s a highly localized religious tradition practiced by only one or two peoples like Druze or today’s Zoroastrianism. The Christian “nation” would be an empire of a hundred languages.
In the United States? Or Christendom in general. If the former, I disagree but if the latter, I agree. I do not favor all Western christians to unite as one "nation" though. That wouldn't work and it would destroy the many aspects of western nations that make them what they are. I do favor all American christians to unite as a nation, though; centered around english as a common language, and the newfound American culture as a common culture.
Yes I meant Christendom in general since that would be the result of a primarily religious nationalism. American nationalism being heavily influenced by Christianity is what I meant when I said that religion is an important component
Yeah, that's why I'm not a religious nationalist. I'm also not an ethnonationalist, nor am I a civic nationalist. I'm a cultural nationalist, but I do acknowledge that certain people are more willing to embrace particular cultures than others. Therefore membership in the nation is not open to everyone, but only well integrated people born within our borders who accept the culture.
But it isnt plural, something youve been consistently unable to back up, and the only thing you've pulled from outside confirmed that it is singular
Why are you arguing an irrelevant point?
How is it irrelevant? You're defending s being at the end of math on the grounds that its plural
No. You are misrepresenting my argument. I said the s is there for consistency.
Whether or not it is meant to be there now is meaningless, it's purpose on the non-abbreviated word was false plurality, which is preserved on contraction.
"Why then would you smack an s at the end of an abbreviation like math?" This is a retarded question.
If a term is plural, you preserve it when shortening it. why would you not?
That's what you said, am I misrepresenting that?
Boi. You having fun here? Making an argument where there is none?
I was referring to the source.
I'm tired, it's 2AM, lemme make mistakes. The s has a purpose, not entirely valid, but Imma keep it there until I forget about it. OK?
dang
2AM?
Let's revisit this when you aren't tired then. The world shall be converted back to the holy light of MATH and cleansed of the Deceiver that is Maths
yuck
Lets have another argument when I'm awake. This one isn't fun
And yes I forgot the ' a zillion times
meths was my favourite subject at school
nothing but respect for my president
there should be a rank for that
This was my president...
He got impeached...
oof
Now it's this guy
lol
He is trying to start land expropriation without compensation...
rip
indeed
good praxis
*wot*
i think nyx is trying to say "white colonizers deserved it yeet."
maybe it's a bit like how when slavery ended the British Government recompensated people for slavery which in retrospect doesn't make sense?
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slave_Compensation_Act_1837)
so would it also make no sense if someone believed these people were 'colonizers' to re compensate them 🤔
?
Have you any idea what happened in South Africa?
rich land lords who do nothing but own lands that poor landless farmer work on are getting threaten to be expropriate... what a tragedy
That oversimplified into falsehood. Well done
oof
guns should be banned
