Here is one of the PragerU videos hated by some (yesterday's post). Maybe they don't understand it, because the meaning of the word "nationalism" has changed over the years. That could be why there's confusion.
Not so long ago, the term "jingoism" referred to extreme and improper loyalty to your nation. You may have heard the phrase: "my country, right or wrong, but my country." It meant that you would defend anything your country did, even wrong things.
Today "nationalism" seems to mean what jingoism used to mean. A few decades ago, everyone knew that nationalism was good. It was just a proper and appropriate feeling of love for your own country - not a blind denial of your country's flaws or wrongdoing.
All the peoples of the world want to preserve the beauty of their own culture. Why should they hand their sovereignty over to a worldwide authority far away? That's the goal of globalists. This author (video) says there is a case to be made for world government--but he admires people who love their nation and want it to go on existing.
