Basically, you can either be a nationalist *or* a humanist, in that you either believe in supremacy of human rights *or* of states' rights
@Peymasad I would agree to that, but I can't find a single 'specimen' that abides by the definition. Can you?

@asteris true hard to find examples but then what's where you and I come in no? :) -
@Peymasad but I still wouldn't call myself a nationalist in any recognizable sense. "I love my country" is an abstraction, isn't it? -
@asteris tbh term nationalist has many negative connotations that good is over looked.but I agree with u on gd&bad thrgh ppl,places,ideas -
@Peymasad what I object to is chauvinist exceptionalism. Self-destructive for any people & toxic to others, certainly has been for my own -
@asteris exactly what I object too.Humans find it hard to get to that middle ground and so old labels stay with old definitions -
@Peymasad still, some old definitions remain serviceable & meaningful. For instance, nazis, as we've finally realized again in Greece -
@asteris yep! Sadly is the reality of today
