Nations aren’t imaginary. And why do you socialist faggots keep using the word cuck when it’s about yourselves, did the word hurt you that much? Pretending nations aren’t a thing and we are all one is literally a woman’s idea and you are a cuck for believing it. If you take this idea into the real world, your nation will be weak and your inhabitants will die because you didn’t protect them. This is so obvious that I have to assume this is bait. SAGE

The concept of cucking requires 3 things, one who cuckolds another and an object of desire. For nationalism to be a "cucked ideology" requires one to have a desire, but for the Other to benefit from practicing the ideology. *
The apologist for nationalism will say that the desire is in common with the other citizens of the nation, in which case the benefit of the other is the benefit of the self* because the will of the two are aligned, in contrast to our Other, those outside of the community of the nation which may not be so aligned.
The counter is thus "If you die for the nation you are cuckolded" but what we must realize is that two things persist and are reproduced through our actions, namely the genes and the memes.* The great counter-argument to the anti-nationalists, I call them anationists, is that you too will die, and for nothing instead of the propagation of a community who will carry your will beyond death.
The truest cuck is not the nationalist, *who gains a benefit from their advocation that is not merely imaginary, but material and social and, if you believe in such things, transcendent, no the true cuck are those who are part of a nation, who pay their taxes and so on*, yet who is not part of the nation, they do not align with the will of their nation. This is really the tragedy of our predicament, that we are becoming cucks through the loss and degradation of our community, and yet we do not revolt against this*, we do not find those with whom we agree and break off like in Catalonia, Paris Commune, Nazi communities, and so on. Why have we not done so? That is a question for the reader to think on.

In case this needs to be explained to the burgers in this thread, nationalism is – a relatively recent – idea on the basis of a country. This being that a group of people with a shared ethnic, cultural and linguistic background, i.e., a nation, will together form a state to rule them, that is, a nation-state.
Other ideas are a country formed on the basis of shared ideology, e.g., communism (in practice; in theory communism advocates disestablishment of states), shared religion, i.e., theocracies such as the Islamic State, or simply by being subjects to the same monarch who conquered the land where the different peoples lived, as was the case for most of history.
Nationalism as an idea makes no specific claims on how a country should be run: Although most nation-states tend to be democracies, nothing precludes a nation from having an absolute monarchy.
Finally, most of the advocates for nationalism tend to be people of smaller countries that have historically been under someone else's rule, such as most eastern European nations and peoples near, or nations that still remain stateless, e.g. Kurds.

Nationalism brings a lot of baggage and easy sway into propaganda of the population against an "other." It's also just not suited to the demands of the time.

Nope. You are educated so. It´s no coincidence that modern nationalism appeared roughly the same time as universal education. Without education you don´t know who are "your people" and what is their history. Your people might as well be people from your little village and the "other people" might be those cunts from across the river or those who worship Jesus in a different way.

It would be very unlikely for one to form his identity along the lines of the language he speaks. Nations are way larger than any tribe comprehensible to our natural instincts.

Lmao no. There was plenty of rivalries and heterogenity before education stamped it out to uniformity. For example in pre-nationalist France people from different areas would barely understand each other. Even today there are intra-national conflicts between south Italians and North Italians or Catalans whom the Spanish failed to fully integrate. You simply don´t understand that world used to be much simpler, the average peasant had no need for nationalism unless foreigners were looting his village.

The scale is everything. Tribalism is rooted in concrete relationships that you actually have with real people you see and interact with. Nationalism relies on abstract relationships with people you cannot possibly know.
In the case that your nation really, truly has some kind of embodied ideals and shared culture, it's a mostly valid feeling. In the 21st century west, where my neighbors have nothing in common with me, my nation has no firm ideals guiding it, and my culture is the same global Disney monstrosity as everywhere else, nationalism is a doomed attempt at necromancy.

>I'd still say nationalism is an instinctual conclusion to a world full of nations and thus is common for people to believe whether or not they identify as a nationalist.
No. Even by WW2 there were regions, where people that lacked national identity. For example the Schläsinger from around Teschen were considered Polish by Poles, because their language was classified as Polish under Austrian rule; they were considered ethnic German by Nazis, who run a massive program to Germanize them and they were considered Czech by Czechs who considered them to be part of their historical territory. Schläsingers themselves held no identity apart from their regional one, altough they were somewhat sympathetic to the Czechs during the post-WW1 fuckery.

In order for nationalism to be instinctive, you need specific circumstances where both "us" and "them" make sense. It´s no instinctive to a simple minded peasant who identifies by his family and lord and it´s not instinctive to modern American who identifies by race.

An instinct is a response to environmental stimuli, it's not far of a stretch to say education is an environmental factor. So would you still say nationalism isn't instinctual even though once they had been made aware of the nations of the world people generally would want to support their own? Regardless of national identity being a recent thing.

It's my mentality that us and them generally always makes sense. I have always had an ingroup and felt that certain people could harm that ingroup. Maybe that makes me too distrustful but I don't hold it against anyone unless they've shown me otherwise. I would say this is an instinct.

To be honest I can't think of a situation without the us and them dynamic. I don't view "them" as the enemy it's more so as other. "Us" on the overhand I view as the people I allow close to me. When this is scaled up to nations I still feel as though if a nation was truly threatened my idea of "us" would expand out of necessity. But I've never been in a situation like that so I can't say for sure how I and others would react.

Yes, but that mentality isn´t inherently nationalist. That ingroup/outgroup can be defined by plenty of other factors instead of just language. Nationalism in it´s early stage even had universalizing tendency, for example German nationalists wanted to cede Polish territory to the Poles, since they were only interested in German nation state on German territory and their main enemy were the German conservatives.

whats up with all this poor use of reason and logic by pro-nationalists? i haven’t heard one sound argue why i should be convinced nationalism is something useful to me in the modern world, or why loyalty to people with my passport or ‘ethnic group’ would be a good idea for me in the modern world. try to see past your own shallow reasoning and convince me.

The point sailing over the heads of many nationalists here is that what you're saying a nation is about - shared language, culture, values, and ideals - has been pretty thoroughly erased for most of the west, especially Americans.
I'm an American, and my ancestors have been here since the 1700s. They fought in the Revolution and the Civil War. But when I look at my culture today, I see nothing tying me to them. Not a single one of those aspects of a nation uniquely connect me to my neighbors - all of them are globalized and homogenized, watered down to the point that it doesn't matter where you're from, it's all the same dull shit.

>STATE-socialism failed, fucknut
And "State-Socialism" derived from the anarchistic Bolshevik communes as a natural course. The Red Terrors got out of hand, millions perished before order could be restored and even Stalin realized at some point it had to cease as a formless state of unchecked massacres. Let's also not pretend that expulsions of various demographic groups ONLY happened under Stalinism when we know the Bolshevik's routinely massacred ethnic groups (particularly in the East and to this day modern Russians are not welcome in many of these places e.g. Tuuva).

>There's insane amounts of violence NOW
Yes and that's okay with me. I have yet to see an aspect of our reality not grounded in some kind of violence. Even the stars themselves are composed of violence. I don't try to repress this fact, rather, it is more healthy in my opinion to be conscious of it lest it fester like a wound and turn into something even worse than what it is already.

And I would say that America is in pretty rough condition right now. Many cities are barren or growing desolate (e.g. I think of Philadelphia which will presumably have some reduction in size as the poverty grows). Also, we know very well that the Hispanic population (just to use a major population group that is under the public eye) does very little to assimilate and has no interest in assimilating (e.g. many places in Southern California are predominantly Spanish speaking, to the point where one may not even need to use English at all). They are rightfully advancing their own ethnic interests (e.g. supporting the legitimization of illegal immigrants which would therefore bolster their own core population count).

>I see nothing tying me to them
Well this is simply because your nation is in its death throes and potentially going to Balkanize (in the most extreme scenario).

>it's all the same dull shit
And thus we have learned that the absence of culture, language, values, etc etc etc - all the many facets that compose a people are probably quite an important necessity for the health and well being of humanity. What we see mostly from the "globalized" streets of America is nihilistic, self-destructive rampages (mass shootings are a brilliant example of this) and slow but sure descent into oblivion.

I am simply not so pessimistic because we have seen similar occurrences in history and the American story is nothing unique. I imagine a citizen of the Ming, or Rome, or the Shogunate had similar feelings as yourself as their culture became a civilization which then inevitably led to dissolution and collapse. Like our own lives, every culture has its lifespan. Yet, like human life, new ones always begin. I don't think it's so doom and gloom you just happened to be born in an era of iron rather than gold.

Then, they sit in college campuses deconstructing all human interaction (one could make numerous jokes about this) and then ... ? They don't really do much beyond this.

There were not only clashes with the "fascists", you know, but there was also growing resentment with Catalonian's who didn't want to live in their system they imposed on everyone around them. You make it sound as if anarchism in Spain blissfully appeared out of thin air one day, amid beds of roses and fine perfumes and everyone cheerily got along. Most of their foot soldiers that were sent to die in the fire fights were poor working men that had believed they could improve their lives by adopting to this ideology. They were simply taken advantage of. I will not pretend that Spain was in any great state prior to the Spanish Civil War but I am not convinced that anarchism was this "Voluntary" ideology its propagated to be.

Let's not also pretend that the anarchists wanted hard defined borders for their new found state.

[Intro]
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government
Die for your country, that's shit
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government
Die for your country, that's shit

[Verse 1]
There's a Gulf War vet, dying a slow, cold death
And the government says, "We don't know the source of his sickness"
But don't believe what they say, because your government is lying
They've done it before and don't you know they'll do it again

[Pre-Chorus 1]
A secret test, government built virus
"Subject Test Group: Gulf Battle Field Troops"

[Chorus]
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government
Die for your country, that's shit
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government
Die for your country, that's shit

[Verse 2]
First World War veterans slaughtered, by General Eisenhower
You give 'em your life, they give ya a stab in the back
Radiation, agent orange, tested on US souls
Guinea pigs for Western corporations

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I never have, I never will
Pledge allegiance to their flag
You're getting used, you'll end up dead

[Chorus]
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government
Die for your country, that's shit
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government
Die for your country, that's shit

[Bridge]
I don't need you to tell me what to do
And I don't need you to tell me what to be (fuck you!)
I don't need you to tell me what to say
And I don't need you to tell me what to think
What to think
What to think, what to think, what to think, think, think, think

[Outro]
Die, gotta die, gotta die for your government
Die for your country, that's shit
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government
Die for your country, that's shit
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government
Die for your country, that's shit
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government
Die for your country, that's shit

You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government
Die for your country, that's shit
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government
Die for your country, that's shit
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government
Die for your country, that's shit
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government
Die for your country, that's shit

IDK about that. I feel that anti-corpratism is often just a reactionary stance rather than a well formed one. Yes you can point to specific things that are untastful about corporations, but unless you live in a chinese sweatshop, I doubt it has impacted you that greatly in a negative way.

I do think that corporations can be critiqued, but due to their non-specific nature with shareholders and no clear distinct indivigual personality, people have a rent free reason to hate some vague "bad guy". They are a body politic like any other, and most critiques are tangential and look at things from a face value.

AS an adition. I do not disagree with your convictions, I personaly believe in relitivity and that the zeitgeist inexorably influences our veiws. Left Anarchism could very well be a solution, but I think it is important to not see things as be alls and end alls.


For example:>>14128820 could be true from a specific angle of naturalism, but if we want to go for a purely utilitarian view, than i think one could disagree. Tribal life was emencly violent and there was a high overall death toll due to the small levels of tribal groups, so inter-tribe violence was proportionaly very distructive (surface area increases as the square of its radius), so larger conglomerates tend to loose less of their proportional population over time.

The death rate was high but the happiness of individuals, mental health, community, and gaia herself were all better off. There is a reason whites ran off with the Native Americans and didn't want to come back. There is something primally good about living in a natural state of tribalism. And pain and death and grief are shared among the entire group. People are closer together and not isolated which is good for the psyche which is why people actually feel better in war torn countries than when peace comes.

>> No.14128971

>>14128898
And I agree with most of this. All I am saying is that it simply depends on what values people find most central. If one believes that contentment is the operative moral agent, then yes. But again eliminating a particularly irratating population or identity group could be going towards that same goal too.

And Personaly, I am glade that most w. European nations cracked down on minority languages in the 1800's, because now we have one less problem that people will bring up and be upset about since it is morally not very rellivent anyone. In this way you can see morality as a function of distance, (ends justify the means).

However, on the other hand, some people believe that virtue is more important than eventual contentment. That it is the struggle to do what we believe is right atm rather than what will eventually be productive to happiness.

But again, this is an argument of morality. Is there an imparitive factor. Is there a balance between factors? is it freedom? Security? contentment? etc.

Tribalism and return to nature just stir the limbic and feel correct internally and mythologically.

this is definitely the key area worth thinking about when it comes to the utilitarian worldview, reduce suffering increase happiness. what we end up with is a bunch of lonely geriatrics on life support who have gone senile from lack of human interaction and life purpose. the right not to die isn’t necessarily the right to live while alive

I think you are talking rather specificly, though I understand the jist of what you say. IMO, and I admit this is opinion here, I believe that form follows function and visa versa. As such natural and unnatual are flexible terms. We adapt to sercumstance and civilization just as a species adapts to a new biome. The problem, I admit, is the rate of adaption. Our civ. development exponentialy outpaces our biological and social adaptation. Tribalism, for me, seems like an arbitrary "biome" of such.

Natural selection is a process of gene selection, not self selection. This precipitates a form of altruism that is qualified by the relatedness of it's recipient(s) as the most naturally vigorous way of living. Such selection is imperfect and random, so despite trending towards this ideal we can't properly reach it. Especially when we live in conditions so separate from our prehistoric crucible.
The relationship between Nationalism and man should always be tempered by this principle. Too much and you excessively brutalize your fellow man and self, too little and you risk your extended families death. I struggle to specifically identify this proper medium but I know it exists.

It's impossible to refute nationalism because any attempt to refute nationalism is really just a veiled attempt to refute a particular nation's nationalism in order to forward the interests of another nation. Marxists will bash the amorphous "nationalism" all day long when in reality what they are doing is bashing the nationalism of Europeans and their colonies while holding "anticolonialism" (aka the nationalism of those nations that were once subjugated by Europeans) up as righteous. Social democratic Jews in America will attack American white nationalism all day long yet they'll never make any similar attack on Zionism. Everyone is a nationalist because humans are social animals and we all belong to some tribe even if we're not willing to admit it in the sunlight.

Mostly true, but the phenomenon you describe isn’t exactly restricted to struggle between coherent ethnic groups. Don’t forget that excluded and casteless people exist in every nation; I’d wager that Lennonite Imagine-ism is also self-refuting but not in so evident a way. Your veiled conflict theory, in this circumstance, pits an international coalition of gray consumers (not an ethnos) against nationalists of all nations (not an ethnos). But the dynamic remains essentially the same, one group conflates it’s own interest with “universal principles”; principles that are suspiciously antagonistic to their immanent political enemies

it’s pretty easy to refute nationalism. You are clearly under the impression that a bunch of generically similar people need a political border of some sort to remain ‘clean’, linguistically, ethnically, politically. And you probably think this idea is inherent in our DNA and has always been the case since the test of time.

All of these ideas are categorically sjd demostrably false. You can have borders without an ethnic state: Feudalism. You can have an ethnic group without a border: Kurds. You’re political ideal isn’t genetic: Why would we even need this conversation if it was?

You don't need some life or death situation to find meaning.
It could be any sport, craft, or even a video game. It can be people, art, or food. Something you can focus on and improve every day is all you need to stop feeling so disillusioned with society, because society will stop mattering. The key is letting go of the idea that what you care about needs to be important, because importance is relative and time will wash away anything you ever do. Have you ever met a skateboarder? By common metrics skateboarding is completely useless and even pointless, but skateboarders do it every day and regularly say how they would rather die than not be able to skateboard.

Yes, and I know why what I mean seems contradictory. Ultimately, if you make me choose between regionalism and nationalism, I choose the former. Balkanize.
But I favor nationalism insofar it's an effective counter to globalism, and that's our main threat today. I don't think being further divided, for now, is fruitful for any one people.
Also, let's say you balkanize, and Spain is divided into the Basque country, Catalonia, etc. We could reasonably claim those are now nation states where nationalism is reasonable, couldn't we?

>Nationalism within the empire was critical issue for the Habsburgs to manage
I know, I mean that, effectively, they had two nations in there, the Hungarian and the Austrian peoples, and so the differences were too big to bridge.
If we're talking about the differences between Italian regions, they're gonna be much more specific and easy to manage, without the need for homogeneization. Maybe it wasn't so during unification but it is now and that's what matters for the future.

Yeah you're right. The examples in Spain I mentioned are part of that, IIRC Franco tried but could not suffocate the Catalonian identity, for instance forcing them to learn Spanish in schools.

>Why not eurofederalism, if you don´t like divison?

and what is your goal? To forget technology? I say, we should forget nationalism. Nationalism means competition. Nations are always in competition, to simply affirm themselves as different they must compete. Alliances are merely just taking sides in a greater political / economic / militaristic / ideological global war. As soon as a nation has sufficient power over another, it annihilates it, or at least subjugates it. Nations that are subjugated in power relationships are always trying to become more powerful so that they may get a better deal in their subjugation, or invert this subjugation. Look at China vs. USA. Once, China was just a fucking factory for the US, a source of cheap labour. This is slowly reversing itself, China is pushing back in the west pacific ocean, and using their economic power to get to do what they want to do, for themselves, rather than what the Americans want. The same power struggle is true worldwide.

Now, what is power? It is simple thermodynamics, it is work per unit time, and it takes the form of yearly GDP. Generating value comes from doing work, whether its a machine or a man that does it. For a motor, it's watts, units of Joules/Second, for a nation, its yearly GDP, units of Dollars/Year.

This is why nationalism and industrialization cannot be untied. As a nation exists, it wants to affirm its own will, it wants to do what it wants. To do that, it needs to have power. To have power it needs to increase GDP at all costs. And where does lead us? It turns the entire planet into a trash heap, full of traffic jams, marvel movies, and dying species, including the now infertile human one.

This is why nationalism must be forgotten by all men.
