nationalism shouldnt die. I doubt it will be viewed in a negitive light. Nothing is more essential than a healthy dose of nationalism. Not to the point where it decides your foreign policy or where it makes you antagonistic/paternalistic, but nationalism is beneficial to the everyday man. Creates a sense of pride, creates national unity that allows us to band together in times of hardship and celebrate in times of peace. nationalism makes everyone feel like they are apart of something greater, and people tend to give a shit about things when they feel involved in the machine that makes up our culture/government
You'd be surprised at how young the nationalist concept is. We all grew up with it and so it feels like it's been with us since the earth cooled ... but it 's rather recent. I do think that globalization (barring a collapse of the economies) will lead us to the follow-on paradigm that our children's grandchildren will think was the way of things always. cn
