As Team Trump wage unceasing war on Iran, evangelical nationalists are destroying any moral world order we once had

The brutalisation of global norms by figures like Pete Hegseth has become a fight against chaos, and all major religions must play a role, says Guardian foreign affairs commentator Simon Tisdall

A quotation from Orwell

A nationalist is one who thinks solely, or mainly, in terms of competitive prestige. He may be a positive or a negative nationalist — that is, he may use his mental energy either in boosting or in denigrating — but at any rate his thoughts always turn on victories, defeats, triumphs and humiliations. He sees history, especially contemporary history, as the endless rise and decline of great power units, and every event that happens seems to him a demonstration that his own side is on the upgrade and some hated rival is on the downgrade.

George Orwell (1903-1950) English journalist, essayist, writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]

Jag inte tror svensk #nationalism historiskt alltid har varit så som jag beskriver - utan detta mynnar ur vår tids uppfostran och tolkning av den del av historien vi får lära oss om
The #FalklandsWar began on #ThisDayInHistory in 1982 with occupation of #SouthGeorgia. #Argentina's dictatorship, deeply unpopular, stoked #nationalism to stay in power. #Thatcher, also unpopular (16% approval in '81) did the same. 649 Argentine & 258 British lives were the cost.
🤫 (((They))) killed him because he fought for #Telegram admins' rights #meta #nationalism

My collegue at @RadioCORAX refused to play this song claiming it was nationalistic.
The whole song the artist just reapeats " #russia is a terrorist state" in different languages. Where is #nationalism here? Has the definition changed recently and I missed that moment?
