We all know how this plays out—whenever Europeans lean too hard into nationalism, wars tend to follow.
The European Union is in a sorry state if it's stuck dealing with people like you.
It’s unfortunate that we are often so primitive that the ugliest side of nationalism always takes center stage—the part fueled by discrimination and the exclusion of anyone perceived as "other." Around here, it seems that impulse is even more pronounced.

Nationalism itself doesn't have a "dark side"; what you're describing is just chauvinism, and frankly, those identity complexes you're projecting aren't the concern of us regular folks.
I remember asking you before about being a hardline Canadian nationalist, and I wondered how that actually squared with those hollow slogans used by the Democratic Party.
Between the Democratic Party and the liberals, it’s all the same nonsense; someone with a real complex could be destroyed by either group, yet you people still insist on building monuments to the old dictators and the old leaders.

Look, man, I don't have any "identity complexes." It honestly feels like you're just bitter that we even exist here. As for your claim that nationalism has no ugly side... I don't even know how to respond to that. It seems best to stay quiet, because I don't share your obsession with whether someone is yellow, white, or red—or what language they speak or who they pray to. To me, there are just good people and bad people.

It seems to me that you have a fundamental issue with the very concept of "identity," otherwise you wouldn't harbor such a dislike for nationalists. To me, nationalism is nothing more than stating that I belong to a specific group of people, which is perhaps the most natural thing in the world. I am conscious of my own culture and maintain a healthy relationship with my history, much like anyone else in a functional society. It just seems that those who identified as Americans or were part of the Muslim community back in '93 don't quite know who they are, so when someone else shows clarity—or when someone's ancestors clearly knew their roots—it becomes an inconvenience for you. That isn't our fault.
In short, I know exactly who I am: I am an American. To me, that means speaking the language, sharing the heritage, and belonging to the American cultural sphere. I can look at my own people and say, "this is a strength" or "this is a weakness." If I'm being honest about where we fall short, I'd say our education system lags behind Western Europe, we can be too reserved in certain social aspects, we sometimes prioritize collective sporting achievements over individual merit, and we are still maturing in our democratic processes...
I consider myself self-critical, yet I am a true nationalist. Your issue is that you seem to misunderstand the definition of nationalism and lack a sense of identity yourself—or at least, you haven't made yours clear to me (in my opinion)😒 so feel free to keep talking nonsense.
P.S.
That kind of perspective is common among many Europeans; we all possessed this awareness long before '93. I'm not responsible for that, and it doesn't give you the right to resent others for having national sentiments.
