You're more political? Thanks for the confession.
Please define how nationalistic you believe me to be. Saying I'm "more nationalistic" is like saying I'm "more American" than you. It's a matter of a slight degree, not the same as calling me a White Nationalist racist and misogynist who supports a Pedophile for President.
I am definitely NOT calling you a White Nationalist racist.
Even if I did to break your balls, I wouldn't mean it.
Nor am I calling you a misogynist, which I don't believe that you are,
and I'm quite aware that you don't support Pigshit,
even though you may have been unwilling to support Harris to stop him.
You're vote wouldn't change Texas anyway,
so you feel free to make a protest vote for a non-viable candidate.
You are content with America the way it is, to some extent,
which means that you are willing to endure far more domestic hostility
that am I to preserve the current republic.
You are a nationalist in the sense of national chauvinism.
You love the brute force power of America
and are willing to endure MASSIVE cultural incompatibility to keep it.
Also, the current American configuration is more valuable to you
because you have no real other identities than being American.
Being so far less removed from my ancestry than you are,
that's obviously not the case for me.
I am genetically 100% Italian but American by paperwork,
and I also prefer several things about America over what's available anywhere else.
Like you, I took an oath in our military and I honored it.
I just didn't make it a career,
because that's not who I am--something easy to understand..
However, I am unapologetically political
and I don't love the concept of a United America enough
to think it's worth enduring our outrageous social regressiveness.
Being as "nationalist" as you are,
you simply don't compare our extreme social deficiencies
to what other, far more modern democracies achieve collectively for their citizens.
The reconstruction of Western Europe after WWII
simply made them socially more modern than we--
BY A LOT.
We helped them with the Marshall Plan I think it was,
but thought we were doing great just because of the 1950s industrial boom.
Socially, we were laughably old fashioned,
not caring that our progress was for male, straight, financially stable, white Protestantss, mainly.
[That's you, I believe.]
In any case, you should have known that I wasn't calling you a "nationalist" in the sense of a trumpanzee nationalist,
this despite the grievances we've had between us.
