quote:

Nationalist: noun

1.a person who advocates political independence for a country.

"a Scottish nationalist"




So why is this a bad thing? Shouldn't every country want to be politically independent?

I swear, all these antifa people, are a lump of individuals who have never owned a dictionary.

It's not. Been relentlously arguing this point since Charlottesville. I'm not reposting all my rants but will link one.

quote:

Notice how "national" has become a cuss word in modern day America. Every opportunity to smear anything associated with national unity. During the Charlottesville mess, I argued for half a day on here that everyone was being a little to eager to shout "white nationalism", "white nationalist". Even Fox News has been conditioned to slander all things national. What's next? The "National" Anthem? The Pledge of Allegiance? 

"I pledge allegiance to myself and to the globalist communities of earth, and to the new world order, for which we stand, one people, ruled by man, with equity and social justice for all." 

Disgusting! 

ETA: This movement was on full display during the Democrat National Convention. They may have kept the name but took 3 full days to put our flag on stage.

Tbird, I'm familiar with your political ideals, and I'm pretty well aligned with you. Are you referring to others?

Its like being a fan of 1 team and hating everyone else.
Them vs us.
It produces opponents instead of cooperation.

No its not! Reading comprehension isn't your friend. You don't have to hate the people you work with to try to elevate yourself.

I don't really understand it either. I have zero care for races of individuals residing in the US- by that I mean I love them all. I just am 'Merica all the way and think we should put ourselves and our country above the others. It's no different than providing for one's own family first to me.

I can be a fan of one team and not hate the others.

Ya, so?

Only if we use your premise above. Which I reject because it's incorrect.

Charlottesville wasn't about nationalism; it was about white nationalism, which is in the same vein but explicitly racist.

Nah I was just referring to the thread topic in general.

I love word etymology. Most don't really grasp it and thus it's easy for threads like this to go off the rails

Millions of Patriots aren't going accept your premise. Whether you add a color to it or not. Quit twisting words and language for your own leftist and selfish agenda.

I will state this emphatically... the Left will not win this battle over words. Enough. You want to escalate this culture war, keep calling and labeling Patriots as racists.

I honestly don't see that much objection to nationalist. White nationalist is what most people get upset about.
