What are the disadvantages and disadvantages of nationalism?

Answer 1

I personally think nationalism is a diesease. It makes ppl self serving and along with propoganda, arrogant. It causes others to suffer while you sit in a comfy chair. It stops advancement in any type of world peace. It causes wars, it destroys less fortunate countries.

on the bright side, you get a "rah rah" feeling when your soldiers kill ppl. and I guess, it is good for moral.

The realities involved with nationalism are:

•creates bonds (which can be manipulated for good or bad effect)

•creates stereotypes

•creates "the other" which is anyone NOT within the national bond group

•becomes attached to each individual identity - acts like a cell of the original within the whole

•can exist without critical thinking about it - and this sort of nationalism is most prevalent but also most dangerous

•is really "prejudice" for likeness and PREJUDICE against "the other" or differences

•can be used to create and start, maintain and promote - wars, violence, hate crimes, hate in general - of any group outside of the nation/nationality group in question

•can be teamed together in allied groups (WWI, WWII, etc) for astounding damage to humanity and earth in general

•is so complex that only critical thinking can get to the bottom of the cons of nationalism

•is so complex that lack of critical thinking actually promotes/allows for nationalism (it's an EASY concept on the surface ie: "you belong" "this is your country" but is infinitely complex underneath
