> Why would you have to be a nationalist to post about China? Because the guy I replied to said: "Surely, you're more likely to submit a post about your home country" I'm an American but my grandparents are from Ireland. I personally feel no connection to Ireland nor do I have any idea what's going on over there. It's any other country as far as I'm concerned. I wouldn't post news about the country to HN. However, if I did, I would be a Irish Nationalist. Feeling any sort of loyalty to a country (whatever the reason or justification) is nationalism. It's literally the definition of the word. > "This only counts news stories posted, not comments." I'm not sure that distinction matters for my comment. It may for the study, but my comment was a bit of a tangent anyways.
