Ima get this out because I know rob or someone is going to jump on me because nationalism is such a dirty word…
If we are pretending that furthering a country’s interests are somehow a zero-sum game, where in order for a nationalistic country to do better it means all other countries will either be the same or get worse, then yea, the concept would be pretty indefensible
But life is complex and not a zero sum game. And are we also pretending for the sake of argument that globalism means not only does the host country get better but all other countries do as well?
Wow, a win/all lose scenario vs a win/all win scenario. Sorta setting me up to fail if these are the definitions we want to use for the terms. That’s why when someone says to defend nationalism but then describes it as this ridiculous zero sum game vs the “everybody wins” globalism scenario it’s pointless
Anyway kk going to bed
