Nationalism

[Cannuck]

sounds like the US in how many countries?

The US Has Invaded 70 Nations Since 1776 –

worse then nazis
hypocrits and banker sockpuppets

Your buddy Trudeau isn't a fan of the US either.

Separating the interests of one's nation from those of another nation does not include invasion and conquering of any other nation.

It does if that's in your nation's interest

I'm sorry I insulted your hero

 

[mentalfloss]

Glad to see I'm not Goodwin this round.

Still, just goes to show that Trump could very well be our new Hitler.

[mentalfloss]

You do realize that Trump is further to the left of all of them and much closer to Hitler, right?

Please tell me you are not in denial about something so obvious.

There you go...Are you cannot's sock puppet or is he yours?

 

[Machjo]

Hitler was extreme right like Stali was extreme left. The extremes always resemble one another.

There you go...Are you cannot's sock puppet or is he yours?

I called him Hitler first so suck it.

 

[Cannuck]

There you go...Are you cannot's sock puppet or is he yours?

You guys should try and keep your story straight. One post I'm MF's sock puppet and the next post he is my sock puppet. The only thing that remains consistent is your support of Trump's left-wing economic policies

What do you feel is wrong with nationalism?

How about points 3 and 5 for a start?

Speak only from a Canadian perspective, tribalism didn't exist in Canada until immigrants began coming in droves from countries where tribalism was practised.
Previously, the immigrants came from many different nations and assimilated into a peaceful and inclusive society.

Umm - I think you are overlooking a province called Quebec.

The only part of 3 and 5 I would disagree with is chauvinism and that has already been put aside in our society. The only chauvinism we see us usually from immigrants coming from male-dominated countries.


You are correct about tribalism in Quebec. But the rest of Canada never took Quebec very seriously. They are an odd bunch and always will be.

... and Alberta ...

Newfoundland?

 

[Curious Cdn]

Newfoundland?

That is a bit more understandable. TNewfoundlsnd was an independant nation for a brief period and joining Canada was more of an act of desperation than desire.
