Governments that are described as nationalist have a tendency to find enemies within its own borders by claiming that a subset of the population aren't true nationals because they don't originate from the country or because they don't share some cultural norm.
- booboolayla 7y agoJust as a hypothetical... Is it possible for a minority within a nation to be hostile to the majority? And if so, how do you propose to deal with the issue of having a fifth column within your borders?
- dependenttypes 7y agoYou are shadowbanned. You might want to do something about that. (you can begin by increasing the quality of your posts. posting "You just posed a question no socialist can truthfully answer!" lowers the quality of the discussion)
- notahacker 7y agoProbably not by arresting children for sedition.
- AnimalMuppet 7y agoIs it possible? Yes. But that doesn't make it a "fifth column". The country is not the majority, it's everyone. Maybe start dealing with it by looking at why the minority is hostile, and creating a country where they feel included rather than excluded.
