As a citizen of a country with a similar history and makeup (Brazil) and which might not be a nation either, lemme just say I really liked the article. It gave me a new perspective on national (and un-national) identity that I hadn't considered before.
Happy Fourth of July! In case you missed it, I wrote about something I find special and important about the United States: it is a country, but not a nation. And that's a good thing!https://acoup.blog/2021/07/02/collections-my-country-isnt-a-nation/ …

You can deny the enormous and obvious cultural homogeneity of the USA all you want and it won't make it true.
-
And more importantly, the self-perpetuation of this homogeneity and its overwhelming, ongoing destruction of other cultures (whether native americans' or immigrants') is also rather obvious. It is not a coincidence if every newcomers to the USA end up speaking English.

Id love to have you and Anthony Kaldellis debate if the Middle Period Byzantine Empire was a nation-state (as he argues). I would pay money for that discussion.
-
I'm actually fairly open to that argument, given a reasonably loose definition of nation-state.
