> A nation is a kin group just like a family is. Given how divided some of the most jingoistic 'democractic' countries on the planet right now are (US and UK) I don't think that supposed kinship is what these people get from nationalism. To me, it looks like an excuse to tribally hate another group or nation without admitting to it.
