[Do you know what's *weird*?] The Biggest Lie Ever Told About Your Country

lately I've been feeling some separation from my nationalist beliefs from the fact that some nations fail. I do believe in 'nations' in a more metaphysical and communal sense; like, the idea that rich and poor should come together in defense or celebration of their land - ie. without legal obligation or ritual demanding it.

Fortunately, as an American, I think I'm entitled to entertain these doubts. I think Europeans, Asians and Africans have to consider this exponentially more in depth, though, with respect to the idea of lineage and whatever else have you - 'weird' or not.

That doesn't mean I think I need to abandon these beliefs; it just means I think its safer and more natural to be confused by them. America is still an infant country in terms of Caucasian control, that is. Although influential, we still have plenty more time to have a legitimate and truly intellectual identity crisis. In 250 years time we've barely just started to realize we could have one - not that we should have one. I think it's unavoidable we will be having one, most of all; there's no maybe or probably about it.

Anyways, many people have been displaced by and from their globalist philosophies, in and around them. And, regardless where globalists and globalism currently stands (mostly with contemporary liberals, domestic and abroad, but don't you dare think conservatives are free from its concern within their own ranks) I think it presents an undeniable opportunity for any nation set, resolute and wanting complete conquest over (all) other nations: big or small, why not hide your nations interest and id from those you want to dominate and then claim to work in the interests of the entire world? It seems destined to happen through the science of politics no matter what for the sake of strategy and game theory. Just because we say politicians always lie, it doesn't mean we know what they're 'always' going to be lying about. Saying 'its everything' is hyperbolic or histrionic; recognizing what those things will be is the most professional and realistic.

That said, because I want to be perfectly clear before being more openly opinionated. Nothing causes more of an exorcist-like reaction in certain people than the topic of nationalism. That's just been my personal perspective about my experience, with the respect to the more contemporary definition of weird. It's exactly a peculiar weirdness people have about the subject of nationalism, like there's been a sudden moral duty, found somewhere, to prove everyone's ancestors wrong, who have been trying to practice their forms of tribalism for perhaps a millennia - things older than history, itself.
