    Should the leader of a nation believe in nationalism?

        Yup. As defined by the “Make America Great Again” hat the POTUS wears. You got a problem with that?

        a leader of a nation should recognize the arc of history and see nations as a temporary organizational system after empires and before global society. nationalism defines itself in opposition to globalism, and is therefore a dead-end ideology. Earth is one family, not “countries”

        I don't know how anyone could look at human nature and it's required tribalism or the inability of large governments and bureaucracies to cater to the needs of massive populaces and think globalist society is the future. People work best in smaller groups. This has been proven.

        all ideologies, including any ideology that proclaims a true “human nature” are framed by the technological era in which they are conceived and maintained. of course global society couldn’t exist before this specific time. none of this exists in an ahistorical conceptual bubble

        I'm not speaking to any ideology, there are certain traits in humans that are genetically embedded, like tribalism, that are going to be present for millions of years, if not forever. As far as social hierarchies, the bigger it gets the more people end up at the bottom.

        believing a disposition to tribalism is genetically embedded and irrevocable is absolutely a reflection of ideology. we must be vigilant in deprogramming ourselves. culture is not your friend. science is restricted by the cultural/technological container in which it is performed

        It's not a reflection of ideology. It's based on a simple study of all of human history. It's as natural as anything else we do. You seem far too quick to throw out millions of years of human evolution as mere antiquated programming. It's worth far more than that.

        key word is evolution. we’re evolving out of animal behaviors. we’re less tribal, less violent, and more accepting of others than 3,000 years ago. history bends towards unity,away from fear. it’s all flowing, nothing is a stable “ism” that applies independent of its place in time

        I would disagree with the notion that we're less tribal and more accepting. Looking at the current sociopolitical landscape we are moving more towards tribalism and nonacceptance, and I believe it's because the societal push to move away from those things went against our nature.

        IndeedNations do not exist. I ve been long enough in the birthplace of the nation-state concept (France, Italy etc) to realize they are not made of one ppl but disparate populations with some similarities with a common language that was forced on them. Nations are simply made up

        That is a child’s dictionary definition. If you understand history it basically refers to the pre US led liberal world order. As in what existed for all of history through WWII.

        No twisting the use of a word and co-opting it to mean other things doesn't change the original meaning of a word. It means what it means.

        How about nationalism as it has been used in the periods of “nationalistic fervor” that existed in the 18th through 20th centuries. And the way it is used by your Richard Spencer’s and some members of the right now. Precisely because that is the historical political context.

        I'm asking you what word replaces it. If somebody takes the word horse and turns it into something else and it no longer means horse what do we call a horse?
