@blobyoumu there's always an underdog. People can be objectively "equal" but being an underdog is a perspective.So to anti-nationalists me being pro-american is siding to an authority. To them America (or insert any country here) is their opponent so they are the underdog. If people are anti-authority then they have to be anti-nationalists.If this is sounding hypocritical it is because it is. People don't realize how biased they can be. The reason why people stress identity is to make you biased.Everything is all pro-skub anti-skub.

@zemichi @blobyoumu nationalism is, as i see it, bad because it's a barrier to directing empathy towards people living in other nations, as well as towards people living in your own nation who have differing opinionswhen the world is split into "national teams", one team winning means another losing. when directing attention to the people instead, though, everyone can win a bit

@zemichi but what if there is no underdog?

@blobyoumu to use an example of this in action:People saying "the wrong side won WWII" even though there's no basis of what would be "better" and the Nazis being losers are the "underdog"The Confederates south of America are "underdogs" because they lost the civil war.And so on.

@blobyoumu anti-bandwagoning and underdog rooting inherent in humans.There's a hate for nationalism in major successful countries because there's the assumption that their successes are based on a subjugation of an underdog. American nationalism is looked down upon because something was subjugated for its success be Chinese nationalism is valued because China is anti-US and an underdog because communism ruined it.

Nationalism isn't bad.Question: why people interpret it as bad?What's bad of being proud of country you live in, where you were born and don't want anyone to disturb it?
