Love your people
And hate foreign devils
For my country
I'll die and leave the world
And govern paradise...

Rationalism of Nationalism
Have you ever tried balancing sideways on a silver spoon holding nine goldfish? Thought not. I suppose it could be considered quite a dangerous act. Largely overlooked are the ants in a ceiling beam. But waving can be felt. The pitter patter parties often jeopardize...

Yuval Noah Harari
suggests that Nationalism's
Big Three Nemeses are fear of
nuclear holocaust,
degenerative climate trends,
and Business As Usual disruptions 
of eco-politically salvific technology.

When I first read this list
of his global Three,
the one that stood out
at least for me,
to potentially
break through our tendency
to see through lenses
nationalistically
is Earth's great...

Nationalism, Russia, Jingoism - Part 999
I
If your national and ethnic loyalties cannot understand other views of YOU, how are u better than Putin & his supporters?

Study ethnoi, ethnicity, nationalism ... And European wars (numerous) even under the Church - plus the CRUSADES, and we are just as right & WRONG...

Nationalism, Not God, Is Behind War
FROM A COMMENT TO ONE OF MY GOOD READERS/ Soupers:

"It's a blessing to have known Jesus through one's parents. I was 30 when I began to take Jesus seriously ("an acquired taste," for a Hindu nationalist). It's NATIONALISM - of whatever kind - THAT IS...

What's Wrong With Nationalism
I
Don't groan, I avoid hating -
Nazi Germany used 'National Socialist'
To give the lie to nationalism
And to God of all ethnoi, Jew and Gentile
But moans & groans turn to labeling
(Thinkers as Anti-Semite, even if Semitic)
Or friends of all nations, Jew & Gentile

II
You see what wrong?
I can...

Anaya and Ann Foster - Thanx - Nationalism Exposed By Me Alone Here
In 1897 Theodr HERZL created the Zionist Movement, but his great work helped create the State of Israel in 1948. Where is the State of Zion? Perhaps he meant the Israelist Movement rather than Zionist?

Long before USA and revisionism were born, the Prophet Nehemiah -...

Once a nation
Supremely white as driven snow,
Singularly Christian, white and male,
Purely untarnished, and aglow,
Grandeur unparalleled in fairytale.

Hence a grievance
Punitively bold as bloody hellfire, 
Potently prosecuted in seats of power,
Oppressively waged against objects of ire,
Prisms of nonwhites seeking justice in the hour. 

Now a leader
Colossally void...

How might Earth's underground narrative
of a sacred Tree
speak most profoundly
of old growth economic
and political
environmental trauma?

A question I forgot to ask
when I was younger
and more disabled
and WhiteMale monotheistic

How might even Republican Red MotherTrees
avoid secularized Self-serving
by Capitalizing Other-undeserving

Instead of
separating and unequalizing
retributive justice disvalues
pimped by StraightWhiteMonoTheisticMale privilege
to criminally...

Putin and Trump's Dream
I
In 2023, Trump won the presidential elections. On inauguration day Don Trump gave Putin a present, Ukraine. He said, with some history as backing, "nationalism" is a nuisance. We had no war with Russia when the Soviet Union existed. Ukraine is not as special as...

My American Daughters
I
My two daughters love Two States
Two ways, at least
They love Maryland & Virginia
They love English and Spanish
They love their dad and Mom
They love Democrat & Republican as American
They know the Constitution didn't make Parties
They Know G. Washington warned Parties
Divide anation, when electing should take best...

Premium Member Supremely Anthrocentric
Seems like RightWing angry reds
are clueless anthrosupremacists
who joke they'd be better off dead
than organically well fed

Despite indigenous faith in sacred EarthJustice
now rewritten as salvation by capital colonization
redeemer aspirations
falling militantly fascist apart

While blue LeftWing
non-green
more secularly cooperative corporate leaders
advertise redemption
while at best blushing over past miscalculations
extractive and...

Without U
1
Since 1983, I spent each year
With her, or reasonably near
O to think I once was young, in love
With U (USA) running from African woe
That apartheid in South Africa
Yet I hadn't planned to leave her
I'd visit a month or two, less than a year
Even when I...

Communion does not approach dawn
to vilify our most public egotistic victims
and predators.

Who would it help
to dismiss, with terrifying labels,
iconic reproductions of sacred history?

But, global legends
contain lessons
for our interdependent 
deep cultural learning.

What is a Western Messiah,
an Eastern Bodhisattva?

A wise leader
who sacrifices personal health
safety
enlightenment
immediately transcendent empowerment,
on behalf...
