@Ranzoe813 My point was the idea of “nationalism” specifically. All this nonsense is essentially because men decided to draw lines on maps to arbitrarily designate this area as against that area. Never got nationalism, which is essentially just tribalism on steroids that requires you to put your societal overlords’ agendas over your own. For one thing, no one has any say where they are born, so to take some kind of weird, unearned pride in a random accident of birth is irrational. For another thing, we are artificially programmed to believe that we are to have more loyalty to anyone else that was born in the same artificial territory as we are, but again this is just irrational and stupid, for human beings are incredibly complex and automatically liking and feeling solidarity with this or that human solely according to the idea that they happened to be plopped out by their mother in the same spot on Earth is a moronic notion when really considered. I like/dislike human beings for a whole host of reasons; their opinions, their ideas, their dress sense, the way they treat others etc. but the idea that I should like them and feel loyalty to them on a random accident of birth, something over which none of us have any say, isn’t (and shouldn’t be) on my radar. The moment you ask me to die for you simply because we are from the same town/city/country, you are crossing into irrational territory and losing me right there and then. The only thing worth dying for is a good cause (so you'd better have one ready), and most of the time, wars started by nation-states are rooted in anything but good causes.
