Individualism requires Nationalism

in nationalism •  7 years ago 

It's nice to see young people waking up to reality. Nationalism is portrayed in msm/universities as nothing more than a hateful ideology of white supremacy. Which completely negates the 'importance' of Nationalism. If Nations do not protect their own interests by elevating 'diversity' or 'fairness' as supreme to National interest (like we see the Left doing today in America) then how can individualism survive? It can't as proven daily. Civilized behavior becomes chaos. Rule of law becomes mob rule. Sanctuary cities where law matters not and non-citizen interests overrides legal citizens' interests. The Left is totally unhinged anymore!

Nationalism: loyalty and devotion to a nation; especially : a sense of national consciousness (see consciousness 1c) exalting one nation above all others and placing primary emphasis on promotion of its culture and interests as opposed to those of other nations or supranational groups

Today it has become synonymous with anyone who is against open borders and mass third world migration. I use to consider myself an internationalist until I realized how asinine the left was on immigration. There is no compromising with them. They won't be happy until we open the floodgates.

I agree. But what I cant figure out is how/why so many people fall for this crap! In my own family even. This actual blindness boggles my mind.

Most if not the entirety of the problem stems from the way its framed. The arugments for amnesty are typically appeals to emotion, and since people aren't logical they tend to fall for it. The manipulation of people's empathy is key to getting them on board with policies like this. Its the same strategy used to push 'syrian' refugees into Europe.

I get that but can't for the life of me understand how what you think are rational people get so sucked in. And I get the concept of cognative dissonance too. I mean..if it all werent so blatently overboard I could see it. But at the level it is now? Where you are basically an evil demon if you dont agree with a Liberal's point of view? And they can't see the ludrcousy?

I actually think that every person who believes this shit is doing so as a way to avoid facing their own personal flaws/failures. By focusing on and labeling others' so-called failures of empathy..they can avoid attending to their own life. Like a way to avoid dealing with what they know deep down 'they' should be dealing with. It's much easier to point the finger.

I think in Canada at least, we have more individualism then nationalism . Most Canadians have nationalism but it is not the same thing as the governments thought on the subject. Long and short is that individualism and nationalism work well together but they have to decided on by the populace of the country not the government, like it is in today's world.

I agree. That's why it's so scary to see so much collectivism & group identity politics going on here. They think individualism is 'mean' and 'selfish' and doesn't help the whole. They totally don't get the concept of how as each of us 'individually' persues our own selfish goals taking us towards what we individually feel is our happiness..we inadvertantly make things better for others along the way. Totally lost on them. They'd rather take what's not theirs feeling all soft & cozy inside as they redistribute to others....sigh

" selfish goals"? personal goals are not selfish, they are just goals, something you set for your self and is no ones business but your own. To feel selfish about your goals in my opinion is just a left over from the programming that we need to separate from our lives . BTW good video.

I mean like persuing your own self interests. Liberals view it a negative as in selfishness as though they themselves aren't doing it too ya know?...lol

It's funny because they are 'everything' they say they're against and refuse to admit it. They selfishly persue their own happiness. But they think that since their happieness 'is' to do for others 'as well as' themselves.. their persuit is more just. Law & individual rights is present nowhere. That is..until they themselves need them. They can support illegal sactuary cities under their perception of what's moral. Our Law is superceded by their own moral judgement. Because they cannot ram their National Socialism quick enough through the legal process (Congress) they feel entirely entitled to break the law. And openly & proud at that...o..m..g
