I wouldn't be surprised if majority of nationalist would be just failures seeking validation in "national glory".
Edit: As for question in title. I doubt that these types would ever go away, rather they will reappear always when situation will be dire or will be seen as such. After all baccilus never go away to (mis)quote Camus.
I find it ironic these White Nationalist types consider themselves to be Patriots. Yet, they tout around the Confederate Flag or even the Nazi flag. (The irony, we were at war with both)
I see nothing ironic in it if by patriotism one mean love for one country; one can love country past or love country so much to be in favor of eradicating those deemed undesirable. One can also think that enemis of his country had good ideas.
For sake of clarity I see nothing good in patriotism.
The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.
