On the logic of nationalism

[TAW]

I don't even know if I want to continue this dialogue with you after reading some of the disingenuous remarks you made. You sit there and tell me I'm completely wrong about my convictions of wanting a better world for the people while knowing literally nothing of my political stances. You're trying in vain to tear apart what I stand for while having nothing to tear apart. It's a shameful display and I think you're just reacting poorly to the remarks I made against nationalism. I could be wrong but I'd rather this be a formal discussion rather than playing petty games of saying that I don't have the people's best interests at heart.

I'm telling you things that I've noted as being an American citizen and dealing with plenty of "nationalists" in the red state of Arizona. I'm not having at you, I'm having at the experience I've had with nationalists.

Who are these "nationalists" in AZ what is their stance on war, economics, immigration?

Where is their manifesto? I doubt they are true nationalists.

Do you want a list or individuals? Is it so incredible that people align themselves as nationalists in the border state with Mexico? Is that really the most inconceivable thing ever to you? If you want their stances, you should seek them out as it's ridiculous for me to sit here and try to act like an agent of their word. What I've expressed is the experience that I have had with the nationalists in this state.

Also, the insinuation that they're not "true nationalists" is such a cop out. It's easy to sit there and say, "Oh, well he may claim to have the same views as me but he's not a 'true X' because I don't like what he's saying." We see Christians do this exact same thing to other denominations of Christianity on a daily basis, come on guys, get your shit together.
