Nationalism does not promote critical thought. Nationalists get emotionally impacted by any criticism of the project their nationalist-brain is aligned with and will write anything no matter how contradictory as a defence. It’s an enormous barrier to critical thinking and the very first thing I do with people is try to remove nationalist brainworms. Even a lot of so-called left wing people suffer from various forms of nationalist brainworms, they have to be exorcised before people think critically and more neutrally. You’ve got to make people citizens of the world to get them to analyse the world fairly, if they have a nationalist loyalty it cooks their opinions.
