I’m quite keyed to people ignorantly projecting their own nationalism onto me - people assume just because I do defend South Africa when it’s being maligned with factually incorrect smears (you could search for previous threads on White genocide in South Africa, for example), that I’m nationalistic. I’m not in the slightest - I think nation-states are an absurd idea. I just hate bullshit.
Sure - you could base your nationalism on being a nation of immigrants. That used to be part of the American Dream spiel. Of course, it fell apart rapidly when the immigrants were no longer mainly White. But other places could do it without that aspect.
