Nationalism is actually a good thing in any country but unfortunately that’s NOT what happened in Cyprus, as Greek and Turkish Nationalisms DO NOT equate to Cypriot Nationalism!
There is a simple word to describe foreign nationalisms in countries… its called TREASON!
You are such an arshole. Please explain to the Germans, Greeks, Serbs, Greeks, Italians and Japanese how good nationalist are.
Now here's a classic example of someone who ASSUMES everything in life!
na•tion•al•ism: Loyalty and devotion to a nation; especially : a sense of national consciousness exalting one nation above all others and placing primary emphasis on promotion of its culture and interests as opposed to those of other nations or supranational groups
I do know what it means, but please explain to the people I said. Cause they had a very personal experience with nationalists which did not go according to plan. When you think about it, so did the Cypriots. Long live nationalists cuntpson and decuntis.
The extreme behavior of some of the people/groups you mentioned is NOT nationalism, but expansionist aggression.
Human nature dear boy. It starts as nationalist and as sure as day turns to night, it turns to expansionist. There is no nationalist on earth that has no expansionist aspirations. It is just hidden until they feel it is achievable then it rears its ugly had not that dissimilar to yours.
We’ve got to be careful not to cloud our minds with the different behavioral patterns…
Examples:
Germany invading Poland is NOT nationalism but expansionism.
Japan invading Indonesia is NOT nationalism but expansionism.
Greek Cypriots yearning for enosis is NOT nationalism but treason.
Turkish Cypriots yearning for taksim is NOT nationalism but treason.
Serbians bombing Muslim Serbs is NOT nationalism but racism.
…and so forth.
Yeah right and pigs will fly. How did they all start?
Was it not you who were saying that GC soldiers had gone to Serbia for training? How nice to know that we are good friends with serbians then.
Please tell me a nationalist group that has not turned to expansionism. But spare me the cheekykittens, they don't count.
