Prince William says “The Muslim community showed the world that the religion of Islam is the religion of peace and understanding”
What’s your response to him ??
The Alabama attorney general’s office has appealed the district court ruling enjoining the state from executing Jeffery Lee by gas suffocation. The 11th Circuit has directed the prosecutors to file their brief by 7 AM Central Time. @uscedp@arnoldporter#deathpenalty
Nationalism: Doctrine, not a Menu
They offer you a diverse menu to feast on.
Civic/Ethnic/Cultural/Liberal/Religious/Traditional/White. Each adjective a sauce and flavouring to disguise the same poison.. choice.
There is no choice.. There is only the nation, which is Blood, soil, spirit, memory, fate.. or there is the dilution.
You do not "pick" your nation like a shirt off a rack. It picks you, claims you and then owns you.
The hyphenators and detractors know this. That is why they hyphenate.
Civic nationalist = "I want the flag but not the father."
Ethno nationalist = "I want the blood but not the burden."
Cultural nationalist = "I want the songs but not the sword."
Every prefix is a retreat to watering down our doctrine. Every concession a white flag stitched into the fabric.
They can call it nuance.
It is surrender.
A nation is not a proposition, nor is it a contract. It is not a "shared values" slideshow for rootless cosmopolitans, moderns and moderates to applaud.
It is a thou. A collective thou that says: This far. No further. These dead. These living. These unborn. Ours.
The sectarians fear that word.. "ours".
So they fracture it. They atomize it. They turn the people into populations, demographics, markets and stakeholders.
They build a shiny bureaucracy of belonging and call it patriotism.
There is no "good" nationalism. There is no "bad" nationalism.
There is JUST nationalism. The will of a people to exist, to rule themselves, to endure.
You want strategy?
Stop explaining. Stop defining. Stop apologizing.
When they ask "What kind of nationalist are you?"
You do not answer.
You look them in the eye and say
"The only kind that matters. The kind that wins."
Let them choke on their adjectives.
Let them drown in their distinctions.
Let them build their little gardens of "inclusive identity" on ground that no longer belongs to them.
The NATION does not negotiate.
The NATION does not hyphenate.
The NATION is.
YOU are the nation.
Or you are the dust it walks over.
Choose.
