I never understood this line of thought. I can see why someone might disagree with "ethnic solidarity" (for want of a better term), but I honestly can't see how someone can't understand it. It's obvious. It's not "personal pride" as such. Don't you feel a pride for the accomplishments of your immediate family? I'd be proud if my brother was an astronaut, for example. I wouldn't call it "personal pride", but it's certainly pride. To a nationalist, ethnicity is an extended family.
Are you an American? I find that it's much harder to explain to Americans.
i like how you're pretending to be racist but can't muster up the courage to drop "pock" for two minutes you're not selling me on the bit

The thing is strong convictions in themselves don't do anything against capitalism, if those convictions in themselves aren't anti-capitalist. And even more: if the capitalist class promises it will put effort into the protecting of your convictions, that's a reason more not to revolt against them. HORSESHOE THEORY CONFIRMED I don't think fascism can be effectively anticapitalist. Actually just two days ago I made a post about this while debating another Zig Forumsack, so i'll shamelessly link my own post:

Well as a greek I dont give a fuck about most greeks but most nationalists are lumpen that try to find hope at things others did

This is true but would like to point out that ethnicities couldn't have evolved differentlty qua group characteristics if these groups hadn't been somewhat isolated.
I mean yes ethnicity is always at least 'somewhat' muddy but it makes no sense to go full deconstructionist.

Meh, I guess maybe I can have some kind of national pride when a visitor says he loves my country or some shit, but I don't feel any connection to "national heroes" of centuries ago. I don't agree with the extended family thing either. I know my family members personally, I don't know most of the people in my so-called national "community" though and can sometimes feel a stronger connection to people from elsewhere - for example chances are I'll befriend a leftist from another country more quickly than a liberal/fascist from my own.

OP here, these are my posts:
If a mod happens to see this: please consider enabling IDs. I know they aren't traditionally part of imageboard culture but I find it hard to follow conversations without them now. That's my two cents.
Thanks for the thread, I really enjoyed it. I'm going to go take a long walk off a short pier. Ciao.
