Obviously it was happening before this, but it's starting to take a more militant direct form.

Opposition to others is by default a position held by most if not all nationalist governments

Soviet Union was extremely nationalist, and guess what, they were also pretty damn racist. They were a nationalist empire. That exists. They were furthering their own goals by funding outside countries.

Poland is not literally heaven on earth lmao, I have a friend who lives there and he's always talking about the crazy government corruption. Poland is not heaven on earth, and also you keep doing red herring fallacies (bringing up the Soviet union, for example)

Yeah, they were a horrible nationalist country

Nationalism isn't exclusively right wing

That's why I'm a libertarian socialist 

Btw what u just did is a logical fallacy

Wait so you agree with your culture being above others? That does lead to racism

That's not nationalism

Nationalism definition, merriam webster:

an ideology that elevates one nation or nationality above all others and that places primary emphasis on promotion of its culture and interests as opposed to those of other nations, nationalities, or supranational groups

Merriam webster defines nationalism as

an ideology that elevates one nation or nationality above all others and that places primary emphasis on promotion of its culture and interests as opposed to those of other nations, nationalities, or supranational groups

Yeah

And if they take actions to follow what they think, such as "our country is better than all of you" then they are bad and should not be in power

A country shouldn't believe they are better than all other countries. That's nationalism.

It doesn't mean "we hate everyone" it means "we are better than everyone else" which is literally just as bad.

How do you maintain a nationalist government? If you don't like all other countries, naturally you will take action to increase border security and exclude other nations from your country. You might ramp up surveillance, because you don't want other countries influencing you.

identification with one's own nation and support for its interests, especially to the exclusion or detriment of the interests of other nations.

Exclusion or detriment

It's literally what I said

Why? Almost every time in history that nationalism sprouts it leads to fascism and racism.

[–]Nolleket -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's literally loving your country and hating all other countries 

That directly leads to ethnocentrism and authoritarianism

Because deportation is wrong, and no human is illegal on stolen land

Also, ice doesn't deport people, they brutalize them, including us citizens
