Nationalism from a nationalist's perspective is more like: "All nations should be FREE! Nationalism is RESISTANCE!"

Perhaps but not really, because that is patriotism not nationalism

I'm not much of a political person, but I agree: Nationalism is incredibly... stupid.

Hmmm.... In space opera, it could work, but in real life, it's not worth it. Can you imagine how stressful ruling the world would be?

This is so perfect. I'd like to see more people to stand for something besides lines on a map or a piece of cloth aka flag.

Nationalism - how many people had suffered and died because of this irrational ideal? How many more innocent lives must be sacrificed in its name in the future? How many more years of misery must humanity endure before it realizes the need to stop bickering and killing over their delusions of differences?

You prefer "Internationalism" to Nationalism.
What works better; unity through a common heritage, or unity through destroying everyone else's heritage, including your own, for a utopian idealism? Hint: America is an example for the latter.

Nationalism is a belief, creed or political ideology that involves an individual identifying with, or becoming attached to, one's nation. It involves national identity, by contrast with the related construct of patriotism.
Nationalism is a way of thinking that says that every ethnic group of humans should be free to rule itself. Nationalists think that the best way to make this happen is for every ethnic group to have its own nation and society that they can rule without being controlled or oppressed by anybody else.
Nationalism is for the right-wing what socialism is for the left-wing. Socialists like Stalin, Ceausescu, and North Korean Kim Dynasty are nationalists also, but North Korea is in an extreme way.
Nationalism is not bad, it is bad only when it because radical like ultra-nationalism, fascism and national-socialism.
What you made here is NOT nationalism it is Chauvinism, chauvinism is an exaggerated patriotism and a belligerent belief in national superiority and glory, NOT nationalism.
USSR war nationialist, ever heard of Soviet Social Patriotism also know as Soviet Nationalism?
During World War II, Soviet socialist patriotism and Russian nationalism merged portraying the war not just as a struggle between socialists versus fascism but more as a struggle for national survival. During the war, the interests of the Soviet Union and the Russian nation were presented as the same, and as a result Stalin's government embraced Russia's historical heroes and symbols

Late as fuck, don't even care.
Throughout this time machine of a thread, there seems to be a constant insinuation that diabolical figures such as "Hitler" were nationalists. Yes, of course his agenda preached some foundation ideals of the concept; yet his sect of thought was (obviously) National Socialism - an extreme version of fascism. A political contraption that centred around purely ethnic supremacy and imperialism.
As inkled towards by certain members of this conversation, nationalism at ground-work sentiment is an ideology that preaches the right to self-determination, independence and existence of every ethnicity and people. The incessant lambasting of any nationalist publicity is majorly due to this ridiculous remembrance of individuals such as Adolf Hitler who devolved far below the tendencies and integral beliefs of the nationalist mindset.
Of course, nationalist groups possess the usual scoundrels and other ne'er-do-wells; oft proudly sporting shaved scalps and boasting somewhat imbecilic rhetoric. Yet are the Left entirely devoid of this problem, hmm? If I recall correctly, I have spied many youths of Left wing street-protest groups possessing similar mental and behavioural deficiencies. The only difference is, the lovely Marxist media adores to display unto the public the oh so evil and RACIST nationalists
Oh and this talk of "Nationalism brainwashes the proletariat with fanciful spoutings and compels them to perform the dirty work", hah! Really? Drivelling on about a utopian world removed from the natural yearnings bestowed upon us from birth does not? The Left is a force built on the utilisation of indoctrination.
Faceless uniformity of the worker is a concept that appeals to the selfish underclass and the sentimentalist bourgeoisie; while a people united in a struggle, whether culturally, economically or otherwise is an outlook adaptable to any member of any nation.

Divisions are inert, both biologically and artificial. To sweep them away like a damn hippie makes you a dreamer.

Differences are differences, adaptations, adaptations. To sweep them aside for nothing more than some idealistic dream creates conflict, not peace. I've lived in a melting pot and it was nothing short of hell. You, I can wager, probably have not. Try it sometime.

Oh, because I'm surely the one running around, committing crimes and refusing to change a way of life that has been going on for nearly 60 years. Right.

Economics is what causes crime not race, culture or nationality. For example Blacks statistically commit more crime in the US, but they are also the poorest minority and until the end of the 20th century government policy was actively against blacks. If what you said were true, there wouldn't be a black US president and every black person would be a criminal. Same applies to other groups.
The reason I said what I said is because when I lived in a multi-cultural area the people who had a hard time and caused a lot of shit where the people who over focused on our differences such as white nationalists, radical Islamic ect...

He is not black, he is mulatto. And what difference does it make? They may not be inclined to crime, but they adapted for their region, and us ours. Their genetics dominate ours, and by proxy, to survive, one must have a distance and gap between the two. They are not my group, and I care not for them. They will overtake us if we let them, and we shall not, no?
