It strikes me that nationalism may be for the lonely. Lord knows it 's a long a difficult road to travel, but only if you abide by conviction. The pretend natiionalists are a different sort. In my estimation, those are the sort of people who are content to celebrate en masse and generally for no clear reason. When I say nationalism, I exclude the concept of vacant flag waving. That's empty, and bankrupt of true sentiment.
My definition is geared more to the belief that we need to ask the difficult questions. Especially if the answers are likely to make us cringe.
We don't do enough of that...
Just a stray thought.
