I say you're being verbose to avoid having to put substance into what you said. Trying to argue that one can somehow separate nationalism from nationalists and actually be taken serious is pretty funny. Nationalism is what nationalists adhere to. Nationalists are people who adhere to nationalist ideas based on their particular beliefs of what a national values. What those videos on nationalism are can be organize to the point where they can either share some sympathy with Nazi Germany or they absolutely hate everything it stands for. Again, explain what it is I am conflating. You should learn to use these words.
Good grief, the above is pretty idiotic. I bet you thought that sounded really intelligent. I call you out for stating that if you're a nationalist you're openly identifying as a sympathizer with Nazi ideology, and your response is a convoluted post where you try and use whatever terms it was you learned in this week's class. I am guessing that your argument essentially can be reduced to: the "general definition of nationalism" made up mostly by you, trumps the historically used one which has little to do with Nazi sympathies and predates Nazi beliefs by a over 400 years. Seriously, you had one shot. You really missed out.
We both know why you're being so argumentative (hope that's not "too big" a word for you) and why you keep putting up utter BS (nationalism emerged 400-500 years ago) and we both know it's got nothing to do with nationalism or nationalists. You've still got that "thing" stuck in your craw and this is how you're still trying to work it out. Trouble is, when you act out absurdly and petulantly like this it actually confirms the truth of my first assessment of you.
