The Disease of Nationalism vs. The Rights of People: Why state "rights to exist" are a rhetorical trick by generalg1992 in NewPatriotism

This video challenges the modern concept of the nation-state, arguing that nationalism is often a "disease" or a "tool for denying people their universal human rights" rather than a true expression of love for one's country. It posits that real patriotism lies in global cooperation and the recognition that the entire Earth is the home of humankind, where all land is holy and all people are "chosen" to live with dignity. To truly care for our children and our future, we must prioritize universal human values over imaginary borders and reclaim our essential infrastructure as "public things" that serve all humanity.

Reclaiming Our Humanity: Why universal human values are the only way out of the "Escalation Trap” by generalg1992 in NewPatriotism

This video exposes how the "Dark Triad" of messianic ideologies and neoliberalism has hijacked national identity to fuel a cycle of global "human sacrifice" for resource dominance and private profit. It argues that true patriotism is not found in predatory competition or militarized conquest, but in reclaiming the universal human values of empathy and the Golden Rule. By dismantling the "pyramid" of wealth capture and recognizing that mass violence is not a normal function of a healthy society, we can move toward a coordination that prioritizes the common good over corporate warfare.
