  • People also identify with a sports team. "We beat your ass". No, you just watched the fuckin game, you didn't do shit.

  • @ninjajesus81 Oh yeah. That's one I hear a lot, too (who doesn't?) and I point it out on occasion to the person who says it. On occasion being most times, actually. I don't bother when it is someone who I think might not understand.

  • Stanhope would deflate so many peoples ego's and self importance. I love how he gives everyone a reality check.

  • @howlbigbadwolf I can't even remember how I found out about him. Love his stuff and happy I did find out about him however it was.

  • @RudolphAlder alright take your time....you must not have a dictionary with you or some shit...

  • @RudolphAlder try it on a norwegian then

  • @WalterLiddy americans will never understand it... no use of explaining.

  • His audience seems uncertain where every joke is going until he makes it explicit. Odd because I get where he's headed exactly and agree with everything he said.

  • @RudolphAlder So give us a definition. It sounds to me like it's you who doesn't understand.

  • this guys really good.

  • I suppose that either americans have a different view on nationalism or simply don't understand the true meaning of this term...

  • I didn't know this guy, but I think he rocks

  • Hahaha... definition of "loser": ordering food at a drive-thru and finding out you have no money.

  • @theshow2k8 Nationalism was made up by monarchs. Even the oldest nations aren't that old compared to human history. Categories got bigger and stakes higher as population grew in "civilized" areas and there was uneven growth in demand and technology: competition. Elites using ideology to impose social control established a paradigm of constant war between factions that over time became "nations". Someone gets greedy for wealth, status, power and the killing starts. People fight but nations war.
