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.

Countries all around the world are tightening requirements for citizenship, permanent residency and work visas.

All seemingly in direct reaction to #republican #racist right wing #nationalist #fascism in the USA, joining in to #deny human beings basic #dignity and #rights based upon (at best) artificial provincialism, and of course plenty of that outright #bigotry as well.

It's awful.

Pro-Europese premier Golob wint verkiezingen in Slovenië

Bij deze verkiezingen stond Slovenië op een kruispunt: verdergaan op de liberale en pro-Europese weg of kiezen voor een populistisch-nationalistische weg.

I've never found an exact #ThisDayInHistory the Association of German National Jews was founded, but we know it was in March of 1921. An extreme #assimilationalist, #antiZionist, #nationalist group, its ~6000 Jewish members were pro-#Nazi, but were still killed in the #Holocaust.

L'Huffington Post - News, inchieste e approfondimenti HuffPost: Il saluto romano del nazionalista serbo al raduno dei neofascisti organizzato da Forza Nuova

Militanti nazionalisti da diversi paesi Europei si sono riuniti a Roma in un convegno organizzato da Forza Nuova dal titolo "Europe rise again. No war for Israel" (L'Europa risorge. No alla guerra per Israele). L'incontro si è svolto all'Hotel Cristoforo Colombo in zona EUR. Durante il suo intervento dal palco Misha Vacic rappresentante del partito di destra serbo, ha fatto il saluto romano al grido di "presente". All'evento era presente anche Roberto Fiore che a margine della conferenza ha parlato in primis della posizione di Forza Nuova sul governo: "Dopo lo scandalo Epstein è tutto semplice. Il supporto al sionismo ha provocato una posizione supina. Forza Nuova ritiene che il sionismo porta odio, guerra e discriminazione. Diciamo da tempo che la Meloni sostenga l'immigrazione, spinto la guerra in Ucraina e taciuto del genocidio consumato in Palestina, rende Fratelli d'Italia e il centrodestra agli antipodi dalle nostre posizioni. Noi vogliamo vere lotte di luberazione".

The nationalist Serbian greeting at the gathering of neofascists organized by Forza Nuova.

Nationalist militants from several European countries met in Rome at a conference organized by Forza Nuova entitled "Europe Rise Again. No War for Israel" (Europe Rise Again. No to War for Israel). The meeting took place at the Hotel Cristoforo Colombo in the EUR district. During his speech from the stage, Misha Vacic, representative of the Serbian right-wing party, performed the Roman salute to the cry of "present". Roberto Fiore was also present at the event, who, on the sidelines of the conference, primarily spoke about Forza Nuova's position on the government: “After the Epstein scandal, everything is simple. Support for Zionism has caused a complacent position. Forza Nuova believes that Zionism leads to hatred, war and discrimination. We have been saying for a long time that Meloni supports immigration, pushed the war in Ukraine, and remained silent about the genocide committed in Palestine, making Brothers of Italy and the center-right diametrically opposed to our positions. We want real liberation struggles.”
