Those hardly make it up for national identity as that's a much broader spectrum. I was looking for fundamental things in our national identity, not fringe cases

- danans 9y ago> I was looking for fundamental things in our national identity Actually, you asked for examples of nationalist policies to be opposed, which I provided. What in the content of those pieces of legislation is "fringe"? If anything, the fact that they are even on the legislative agenda indicates a normalization of nationalist policy proposals.
- ThomPete 9y agoI was trying to understand what you meant. Those a fringe cases and have nothing to do with what most of people think when they talk about national identity. Again its politics disguised as something else, national identity has its good and bad sides, to good are far outweighing any bad ones.
- gkya 9y agoNobody's talking about your national identity. The topic of discussion is national identity as a concept.
- ThomPete 9y agoYes as a concept. It's like saying personal identity or team idenity is made up which it is but we don't call for the deconstruction of that just because some people are mass murderers or some teams have hooligans. Individual examples aren't arguments in them selves. You cannot not have a national identity as a concept whether you want it or not the second you introduce other nations or other personal identities or team identities. You have to show as a concept that it's worse than it's good, saying that it's made up (which is all the video really do) is not an argument. All identities are made up to some extent.
