nationalism is a creepy-ass ideology and everyone's taking part. almost cult-like and based off tribal instincts. the idea that you're connected to those who look like you/speak like you/act like you. "you have to love your family unconditionally because they gave birth to you." "you would die for your country." it all screams collectivism, the polar opposite of the founding american ideals. any view but individualism is wrong. no one should be pushed into a society forcing them to piss their pants when someone says "my country's better than your country"

Yes there are extreme forms of nationalism, but then again the Thirteen colonies were considered nationalist during their rebellion.
