ultranationalism

Description

Ultranationalism is the political faith of elevating one’s own nation to an absolute pedestal while viewing others as threats. It turns borders into stages for hero worship at home and enemy creation abroad, an efficient amplifier of conflict. Reason is chased off its podium by emotion, making exclusionary ideology its banner. It may be called the paradoxical fruit of patriotic love that confines others in the name of freedom and justice.

• A political feast serving the stew of unity, with neighbors slaughtered as enemies on the altar of solidarity.

• An exchange that sings freedom’s praises while bartering away diversity as its price.
• A self-indulgent lab that silences dissent before redrawing any borders.
• A paradoxical festival where flags unfurl and reason hides, replaced by the inferno of mass hysteria.
