That description of "leading a people" sounds a lot like nativism.
- ALittleLight 6y agoI've just googled the definition of "nativism" and I think so. I understand it as being concerned with the well-being of the "native" inhabitants, or as I put it, the people there when you assumed power. I think, in practice, there needs to be something of a balance between prioritizing place and people, probably not an equal balance though. I think people are more important. As a citizen, if I elect a leader, live by the laws, and pay taxes, I want the government to look after me and my well being and not try to optimize the local stats for GDP or median income or whatever if that comes at the expense of people who live there. Do you disagree with that?
