   @perfect_brains the work of states is to conjure nationalisms consistent with stability and internal peace (which often means pluralism). nationalism untethered to a state that incorporates as full citizens all of the residents of the territory it controls is indeed a pestilence, in my view. https://drafts.interfluidity.com/2023/10/13/national-self-determination-is-a-vicious-idea/index.html

     "pestilence of nationalism"

     perhaps not nationalism, and perhaps nationalism itself is not a pestilence

     the author is twisting circumstances to accommodate the current cultural marxist line

     "It is the bleakest of historical ironies that a people hounded from country to country, and eventually into camps, by the pestilence of nationalism should seize on nationalism as our saviour, our birth right, our vengeance." #SamAdlerBell https://www.newstatesman.com/ideas/2023/11/jews-resist-inhumanity-israel
