There is nothing wrong with emotion, facsist arguments are wrong in the way the dishonestly manipulate emotion. Nationalism is extremely shallow psuedo-tribalosm, instead of caring about your friends and neighbors it's calls for some vague patriotism for a nation state which has nothing to do with real human interaction, goverment is not a tribe and nations are not real communities. Tribalism in general is a silly repitilian anachronisms that is unnecessarily divisive and alienating.

The problem is not that it doesn't appeal to the emotion, but that it only appeals to the emotion. I haven't heard any other argument that has a leg to stand on.
>why is tribalism bad
I don't have a problem with it in certain cases, but 1) it often claims it is completely natural and therefore good which is unsubstantiated and doesn't logically follow and 2) tribalism as an affiliation between the familiar, ceases to be true when projected on such a massive scale. Why should I, in the United States for instance, feel fraternity and sympathy for some Californian faggot thousands of miles away, who I will never see and never meet, and whose interests and concerns are vastly different than me? And why shouldn't I feel that the Canadian, who if I live on the border I might see everyday day, is part of my tribe? You get the picture, but especially in a heavily industrialized society tribalism becomes a farce.

It is alienating in the sense that it creates an "us vs them" situation that isn't always necessary, and that is often maladaptive and alienating. Prehaps "compartmentalizing" is the more apt word. While compartmentalization does produces a sense of belonging in the compartment, it alienates them from the world at large. I've seen many fascists simply state that they do not care about anyone outside their tribe. This "outsideness" is an illusory product of tribalist alienation.
>Therefore, a fascist government is not a tribalist government
Your right it's not, but fascist ideaology plays on tribalist sentiment. It's tribalist in it's means, not in it's ends.
I'm not interested in defending the quoted argument, I didn't make it. My critism of fascism hinges on that it's ideaology isn't coherent with the way the world actually works, the hiearchal authority of fascism is backwards to the way we(we being all living things) actually interact outside of arbitrary conventions. That way is a creative rhizomatic plasticity, fascism is not adaptive and it isn't an ideaology for the living. Furthermore I simply despise fascism and all authoritarian ideaologies, they are cancer.

While yes they do, but this happens thirdly and doesn't have anything to do with the actual interaction itself. There is such a thing as valid authority, fascism does not advocate for a valid authority. It's actually based on retarded 18th century ideas about evolutionary mechanics. I do like fascism's sentimentality, niave rationalism(liberalism, communism) is pretty dumb. However fascism is manipulative of sentiment and is thourghly toxic, far from the proper apagastic sentimentalism working in the confines of pragmatic truth.

How confident are you that these ideas are more false than your idealogies? Pratigism works by minmaxing but it leaves you weaker to black swan events because you -didn't--see it coming. The only possibility to see everything is to know everything at once. This is impossible, so we must treat all idealogies with some degree of weigh. Some idealogies have higher probability of being useful than others. My problem with your line of thought is that you didn't quantify the value of nationalism properly.

The funny thing about this is that making Cletus McCoy from West Virginia the first King of The United States of America around the time of WW1 would've led to better outcomes worldwide than rule by the people who had more "merit".

That's not really how pragmatism works at all, you ought to read Peirce before discussing pragmatism. My ideaology is 100% based in my sentiments, which are informed by well made inferences.
I don't deny that nationalism has utility, but ultimately it's just a poorly-informed, weaker version of communitarianism.
Some ideaologies are more coherent and complete than others. If fascism or any other ideaology isn't coherent within it's bounds as a Language, and can't completely represent ideaological propositions, there is no reason to treat it the same as ideaologies that fufill that criteria more adequately.

I'm going to have to strongle disagree with you here. If you look at people who live a communitarian life, such as primitive, indigenous people, they have lively traditions and mythologies that are the richest to be found.
I would say the exact opposite, while nationalism is somewhat conductive to to tradition and myth, it is at a national scale. This has a horrible homogenizing effect, it takes the hetrogenous traditions of communities and makes them the same, it breaks down ecological boundaries and community ties. Just look at how common it is for people to lose their langauge when communities break into nation states.
National traditions are overly abstract, lack adaptive capacity, and actually impoverish tradition, community is the opposite. Nationalism is antisymmetrical to actual social interaction. It's an ecological fact that all social interaction actually happens within a community.
Community ecology, and models of ecological communities and interaction, systems and networks really help with this kind of thinking that has been largley forgotten because of nationalism. Just look at some nationalist countries,the USA, and China. Tradition? Really?
Also mythology is but a nascent instar of philsophy, and civilized people don't have much use for it as a system of explaining the world around them.

It was being used to make fun of his viewpoint by comparing it to boomer views on race relations. It wasn't using boomer as in the "out of touch" 30 year old boomer meme and if you had any reading comprehension or knowledge of either you would understand that.

Regardless the post was about people who get turned off when they see trendy vernacular without actually comprehending how that vernacular is being used and the intention it is being used. Yeah retards are going to spam words like projection or contrarian and other "buzzwords" but that doesn't mean these words can never be used appropriately, even if it's as a way to make fun of someone.

I'm talking about a hard reset here- USA and China are not real bastions of reaction. The agrarian lifestyle is a very key element to fascism. I absolutely agree with what you are saying about homogenisation and thats why I am not a pan Europeanist. Meaningful tradition in the west is seriously injured and if it is realistically going to be restored there is going to be one national myth. Where I live there is no meaningful metaphysic unfortunately. Indigenious people that have not been tainted by modernity are great and all and I'll take your word for it that they are Communalists, however what I am saying is not universal. What I want is for my people alone. I have no desire to make all countries on earth nationalist to wipe away their way of life.
In regards to Communalism in particular, I really don't see meaningful reaction without a sacral center. The state has a role in enforcing the countries values. If the west were to become a Communalist polity, what would really happen: people resort to hedonism as a result of the lack of a real metaphysic or will they construct a new one? Is that even possible to do? Guenon would contest that constructing a new tradition is impossible considering that we don't see the world in terms of a greater meta-narrative.

No because you aren't being argued with, you are being made fun of. If the worldviews are so far apart you don't see what is wrong with how boomers perceive race relations it just makes it funnier, and the labeling of you as a boomer all the more valid.

> did you just use "boomer" as a way of labeling any ideas you disagree with as invalid

The propositions were accurate. The post criticizing the post specifically pointed out the vernacular "boomer, teh" as being what turns peoples brains off and makes them not take the person seriously, I was arguing that while that is the correct response to "buzzword" spammers it's important to be able to differentiate buzzwords used meaningfully and meaninglessly. The reply was always focused on the principle of the matter and not that specific poster, which was just used as an example.

>If you don't care about the aesthtic quality of writing
