Nationalism Today

I've only scratched the surface. Nationalism is inherently detrimental to our health as a species.

Thanks! You just saved my project1

[Orygyn]

@sam26Original2men No problem.

My favorite genre is folk or folk metal from several different countries, from the Americas across Europe into the Middle East, Africa and Eastern Asia. Without people practicing their cultural heritage, we'd lose so much of the diversity that makes the world interesting.

@Reghedable I think I'm going to need to follow up on this video. So many people seem to think I'm criticising culture.

ooohhh you sound like a jehova witness, lol jk, i'm on the fence about this issue.

[Orygyn]

@CoreyHartRules LOL.

[Reghedable]

@Orygyn My apologies, I was worried I was misunderstanding the purpose of your video.  Yes, it'd be a good idea to clarify that position I think.

[Reghedable]

I would agree and disagree with you. Nationalism in itself is certainly aimless considering the progress we've made, and with the internet, I have a feeling before our generation dies out borders will start to slowly become obsolete. However, I would argue that nationality as an ethnic identity is very important to maintain the diversity and culture of the world.

@Orygyn I agree. I like Canada because it's a great country, not because I was born here. For example, I'm not sure, but I doubt I'd be so proud of where I was born if I was born in the U.S.

@plevyman We probably differ on how significant "significant" means. I'm talking about the divisions that people expressed in my previous video where some call themselves Scottish but not British and insist that it's "English tories" holding us back. But understanding or simply respecting cultures can offset those differences.
