"Nationalism"❓
An indication that things aren't right.
Nationalism is our form of incest, is our idolatry, is our insanity. ‘Patriotism’ is its cult... Just as love for one individual which excludes the love for others is not love, love for one’s country which is not part of one’s love for humanity is not love, but idolatrous worship.—Erich Fromm
Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind.— Albert Einstein

‘The Lord of Speech’ refers to the use of intellect in relating to our world. We adopt sets of categories which serve as handles, as ways of managing phenomena. The most fully developed products of this tendency are ideologies, the systems of ideas that rationalize, justify and sanctify our lives. Nationalism, communism, existentialism, Christianity, Buddhism—all provide us with identities, rules of action, and interpretations of how and why things happen as they do. ...If a world of namable things exists, then ‘I’ as one of the namable things exists as well. We wish not to leave any room for threatening doubt, uncertainty or confusion.—Chogyam Trungpa
Nationalism has no universal values, aesthetic or ethical.—Danilo Kiš
For conservative white evangelicals, the ‘good news’ of the Christian gospel has become inextricably linked to a staunch commitment to patriarchal authority, gender difference, and Christian nationalism, and all of these are intertwined with white racial identity.―Kristin Kobes Du Mez
Patriotism is when love of your own people comes first; nationalism, when hate for people other than your own comes first.—Charles de Gaulle
The Marxist critic Perry Anderson, in his scathing account of Indian nationalism, The Indian Ideology (2012), charges that Gandhi’s ‘intellectual development was arrested by intense religious belief’.—A Web Site
Nationalism is power hunger tempered by self-deception.—George Orwell
He saw that science had become as great a hoax as religion, that nationalism was a farce, patriotism a fraud, education a form of leprosy, and that morals were for cannibals.―Henry Miller
It is nationalism which engenders nations, and not the other way round.—Ernest Gellner
