Poll. Hitler said: why nationalize corporations when you can nationalize people, and he introduced Germany's 1st nationalistic pledge for every school to recite every morning. The USA recites its national pledge in every school every morning too. The Mexican immigrants refuse to participate in it.
In Europe too, nationalism is rising, to the level of ultra-nationalism, both at classic locations such as France, and in the Balkan regions such as Romania and Slovakia.
Considering that nationalism is not natural, was invented only "recently", in the French revolution, it did a pretty good job to define your most basic self identity. The purpose of nationalism is to empower you to kill people at the excuse of the greater good, and this was excercised in ww1-2.
Globalization strengtens nationalism too.
How nationalized do you feel? If for example some international committee decided to separate the USA South-West and re-unite it with Mexico, what would you do?
