On Nationalism
I never said Nationalism = no freedom. I said socialism = no freedom, prosperity, confidence, or cultural dynamism one needs to have a real Nationalist country.
If by Nationalism you mean patriotism, that is. Nationalism itself is an older and even more vague term than "Alt-Right." Most Americans equate nationalism with patriotism. I'm writing with the assumption you are to, so tell me if I'm not on the right track.
I thought I made it very clear my main quibble was with socialism.
On Nazi Germany
That's a cop-out. You're participating an awful lot on this thread. I don't think any of us are asking for a book. We want you to give a brief (maybe one or two paragraph) explanation of your actual argument with historical facts beyond "the truth is out there." Then where you got information from.
I've read my share on Nazi Germany and from what I can see the Jews did nothing wrong as a people. Certainly nothing that would justify rounding them up, taking their money, splitting their families apart, forcing them to live in ghettos, using their bodies for medical experiments, and slain on industrial scale.
Before all that, they were treated like white men today. Subject to a propaganda campaign that preyed on ignorance , grievance, and widely-accepted half truths.
I agree that the left has gotten out of hand. And not only are they screaming socialism but some of them are actually screaming communism. I am just glad people now see how vile the far left is so they stop supporting it.
How can you say that Nationalism means no freedom when America was in a nationalist isolationist state was the only time it thrived and people had all the rights of their Constitution? I think this stems from the Nazi reputation again.
As far as Nazis being attacked first, I have read it and it is available to look up. I dont know Nazi history and dont care much to but I do know that. If you have noticed I am not digging up references for everybody that comes in here for things that are not relevant because that would be a full time job for me and there is no reason people can not do the reading for themself. After people have done their own research, at that point if there is some information they are having trouble finding I will help them find it. But my point that Nazis were mostly Christian, if that is argued, that in itself is evidence someone has not read anything at all about the history.
I think liberals have successfully misinformed the public as usual to make them think Nationalism is similar to Fascism simply by using dictators as examples and never using the greatest nations in history as examples. If anything Nationalism would secure freedoms much more than our current republic system is. The reason I say republic is those who understand the structure this system is set up like a republic was called republic when made whether you call it democratic or republic nation.
I tend to bring that out in these type of folk.
