You're just lagging behind. And no, your stupidity isn't about how old you are; you'll still be stupid when you grow up, so it's pretty obvious.
And your sentence wasn't taken out of context. It stood alone right where it was meant to be. Get it? That one specific sentence. Accompanied by an idiot smiley.
Furthermore, there's no such thing as a "personal" definition of something—I mean, sure, people say it, but I could just as easily claim math is the science of living organisms. Nationalism was defined long, long before both of us, and I specifically mentioned its meaning earlier in this thread. I think even Klaić would agree with the definition. What you're talking about is patriotism, but unfortunately, you didn't stop there.
So, I am not some deus ex machina; to your great misfortune, I am the condicio sine qua non of this thread. Ergo, I am reacting to blank slates like you, cum grano salis.
Now go grab a dictionary!! And while you're at it, look up nationalism!!
End of discussion!

Haha, please, spare me the Latin. It’s really not my weak spot! I know plenty, but that isn't one of them. When you try to use those few phrases that even my grandma from rural Alabama knows because they somehow drifted into her ears, all you're doing is looking like a pretentious, self-important fool. I truly believe deep down you aren't actually like this, but rather that this attitude is just a result of some hidden complex—though this probably isn't the thread to unpack that.
You haven't even participated in a real debate with me; you've only made that one post that makes me nauseous. Honestly, dear, it's the easiest thing to write, requiring the absolute minimum amount of brainpower, much like that famous "end of discussion" line.
You want us to consult a dictionary? Fine, here we go. My Anić Goldstein says:
nationalist
1. a follower of nationalism
2. someone who feels belonging and loyalty to their nation as a primary component of their commitment and identity
3. someone who is exclusive in representing the aspirations and rights of their nation in relation to other ethnic groups and nations
So, just like many other terms, there isn't just one single definition for nationalism or a nationalist. Fortunately, my "personal" definition aligns perfectly with the dictionary—specifically number two—so there is no need for me to change it, nor do you have any right to call me a chauvinist for holding that view.
As for my sentence, it absolutely was taken out of context, which could have been found in the post before it or the ones preceding that. Seriously, do you need a Wikipedia link for the definition of a metaphor? Think before you spout nonsense.
Bluff. It honestly irritates me that I even have to write posts like this. Truly.
