Just read the book Yialousa and see how much terror and ethnic cleansing and other heroic acts took place during the Balkan wars. Have you ever read anything?

History teaches us that any nation which instills in its people immeasurable amounts of ultra nationalistic material , that nation is guilty of excesses of the worst kind. Ethnicity in itself does not create monsters , hatred is cultivated by the state until a full grown monster is created. Hitler and the Gestapo were a perfect example

Without nationalism, then you don't have any any mechanism to fight for survival. Without nationalism you have no-one who would be willing to lay it down in order to defend the country. Without nationalism, an Army cannot march into battle, and fight.

Without nationalism you cannot even build a nation to begin with.

A country under occupation and fighting for its very survival has no other choice but to be nationalistic, but alas it ain't nationalistic enough. :roll:

All countries are nationalistic. Your beloved USA is one of the most nationalistic countries in the world.

Nationalism is vital for survival as a nation!

Bananiot you are the scourge of humanity. If we gave in to people like you, the doom-seers, we would all still be living in caves. You are ashamed of your own shadow. You are not a man, neither beast

You are the most fascistic in your thinking, because you subvert independence.

As Kuhn predicted, things will change once the generation that will not allow change, dies out ...

We wait!


That is so true! :D
