Nationalism — and the very idea of a ‘nation’ — carries more flaws than benefits. It’s been used to manipulate the masses countless times; in fact, it was crafted for that very purpose. I don’t associate myself with anything like that. Personal identification with grand artificial abstractions often distorts one’s sense of truth and undermines flexibility. I prefer something more grounded: society.
