Andrew StroehleinNationalism: Being proud of things you haven't done & hating people you've never met.
halikular@andrewstroehlein You should have respect for your ancestors including their culture and most importantly your friends and family, that’s true nationalism.

@halikular @andrewstroehlein Why not both! You can be proud of you ancestors, love your family and friends but also love and welcome people with different ethnicities, believes. The one does not necessarily need to exclude the other.
@fakr00n @andrewstroehlein I believe in open borders, but if a country choose to have closed borders that’s their choice. I can’t move to Israel because I’m not Jewish. You should also respect the culture, laws, and customs in the countries you visit and the same goes for those who come to yours. I may not agree with some practices in Qatar, but I’ll make sure to respect them if I ever go there, the same I expect from them in my home country. https://twitter.com/nntaleb/status/764778916796129280?s=61&t=1PWjvAN3KIGUBslrkCeofw
@halikular @andrewstroehlein Of course we all should follow the local laws of the country where we are even we don't agree with them. No body is arguing about that. The thread was about nationalism which is often sadly associated with hate of foreigners. In my opinion you could be a nationalist loving your country and culture but in the same time welcoming others with different ethnicity and culture and customs, that's all 🙂
