Description
Nationalism is an ideology that simultaneously offers collective unity and exclusivity by enthusiastically waving one’s flag while subtly looking down on other countries. Claiming to season patriotism and skepticism alike, it brands itself as a universal condiment but actually fuels conflict and anxiety. It transposes borderlines onto the mind, staging a perpetual rivalry behind fleeting solidarity—a paradoxical collective delusion.
