        does this mean you'll stop guilt tripping Europeans about colonialism...after all they were just moving about a borderless world.

        The truth about the New York Times? It has zero journalistic integrity. Isn’t it so much fun to just say whatever we believe as if it’s a fact?

        No, the truth hurts... this article is just highlighting how societies in general are arbitrary... societies change depending on who controls the narrative...

        When I saw this headline, I thought to myself, "I bet this argument is being made by Jews." How did I correctly guess who the authors were based only on a headline?

        National identity is constructed by human beings. It is a collective myth that humans cling to, so they feel they belong to some special group, much like religion. In reality, ideologies, religions and national identities are all falsehoods, made "real" through collective thought

        It doesn't make any sense to acknowledge the concept of a tribe as natural but the one of a nation as made up.
