Of course, there's only two sides, nationalism or slavery.
- ThrowawayR2 7y ago> "Of course, there's only two sides, nationalism or slavery." The choices are staying strong enough to defend the nation or slavery. You could ask the former colonies of the old colonial powers about that. Or the Native Americans. Or the former subjects of the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere". Or, more recently, the Ukraine. I am a liberal but denying the importance of the military is just foolishness.

An idea like: "I'd like to live in a free country but I don't want to ever fight for it, so please don't invade it people, we're all pals and everything right?" only flies when you're already in a strong nation, that others don't dare mess with. And that's because others in your nation didn't let that idea fly in their heads.
