@shmibs @blobyoumu >the "can't spend all that to save one baby" bit is really a flawed argument when the brunt of spending all goes to competing with other nations and caring is left only scraps. if those resources were directed towards people in the first place, those scarcity problems could be avoidedThis is a tweet made by the WHO an organization we've apparently pledged to give 700 million dollars tohttps://twitter.com/WHO/status/1217043229427761152?s=20An organization that is apparently supposed to serve the world (not the US) published lies about a pandemic, flat out. We're apparently going to give 700 million dollars to them.If that money were used to nationalistic reasons it could be used for energy, infrastructure, investment, US poverty, US healthcare to prevent pandemics.Or that 700 million dollars could have gone to some poor country that can't even make 700 million dollars.Or we could split the baby and instead of giving it to people that we don't trust or don't trust us we could give it to an ally. Could Japan, South Korea, or a European county use 700 million dollars? Probably.I see people complain about defunding the WHO that it's in the way of a borderless empathic view of the world and I'm here to say that it's a bias and a deadly bias because you cant convince people on what the problem is. I'm happy and proud for my country, I would do a lot for this country, I also have complaints about this country and I wouldn't put anyone down because they're not from this country. These are all true things and I don't think it's hard to be critical of your own country. But it's outrageous to think that wanting to to be nationalistic for your own country means there's no space for supporting anyone else. :backfromgab:world-us-canada-52294623.png -

@shmibs @blobyoumu I don't think pro-nationalistic means you can't be empathic. Me being pro American doesn't mean I'm suddenly anti Mexican or anti Chinese or that it means I want other countries to be like America.But people confuse anti-nationalism with being pro-empathy. I am a single person but if I spent all my resources to help others without helping myself it would be harmful to myself. People would be thankful to me but I would lose in the end.The hospital can't spend all its money to save one baby when there's thousands others to save. You can't donate all your money to charity when you have a family and yourself to feed. America as a single country can't be the sole provider of all the world's problem despite what other countries think about its power.Like one thing I get onto people's case about is illegal immigration. Illegal immigration is slave labor, it's not an altruistic thing. People love to meme about the selfish American saying "dey took ur jerbs!" but yeah, they did take the jobs so they pay poor people poor wages and packaged it as kindness. Nobody is going to improve the conditions in Mexico or take down the cartels slinging Chinese poison but hey we paid a Mexican minimum wage that not even an American can live on so it's all good! Racism solved!If we had infinite money this wouldn't be an issue but we don't. We're so inefficient with our energy that we're doing things that help us feel good but don't really help anyone. Being nationalistic a bit of the time could help. :backfromgab: -

@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. -

@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 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.
