What does "nationalism" even mean in public discourse? I've seen it being used as an umbrella term for anything that is not liberal or marxist, to it being used when someone exalts their nation's spirit, either chauvinistically or not, or as a synonym for anything where a group behaves in a way that benefits the ingroup even at the expense of outgroups, or even as a synonym for anti-globalism. Since we live in a world where globalists reign supreme, we ought to be clear with the terms that we use, especially when they are as emotionally and ideologically charged as "nationalism".

Are regional and national identities contradictory and irreconcilable? I always thought self-identities were like matryoshka dolls (as in a person can have familial/local/regional/national identities at the same time) but apparently many think not.

Why does this book make /pol/ shiver in fear?
