I continually think that many people’s stance on nationalism is strange. Nationalism is what destroyed Imperialism. I’m certain that many anti-nationalists would not at the same time advocate for Russian Imperial dominance in the face of Eastern European nationalist movements (especially in the 20s), or tell Ghandi that his movements for a free, Indian, India is a hateful message. Or tell the Africans oppressed by European colonialism that they don’t deserve their own state molded to be theirs and theirs alone. Nationalism is what prevents oppression of weaker groups, and cannot be used to oppress other groups unless there is a misconception of the boundaries between two groups (i.e. Ukraine and Russia rn). It is the most effective method of ensuring peace. Where there are clear, set boundaries between nation-states and firm national identities there is no reason for war. The mixing of cultures artificially through mass immigration erodes these national identities and disrupts society. It works best if everyone respects each other’s boundaries and keeps to themselves and their own group.
