why are they so intent on stamping out not just a concept but the very word? it's simple. what you are watching his people protecting their own prerogatives. globalization which is the opposite of nationalism has caused an enormous transfer of wealth from the american middle class to what we used to call the third world to other countries. americans american factories clt they went to other countries. some nations got rich from this and others got poorer. rather than admit what actually happened though, the people who got rich or are trying to make the people who got poor or shut up and stop complaining about i it. a borderless world has been hugely profitable for them and that's why they support it. nationalism is that kryptonite so they must stop it. they scream racism and hope that nationalism will go away. will it go away? probably not. because the core idea is appealing to people, all people in all countries overall time.
