No . Don ' t buy in to their bullshit . It ' s complete nonsense . <| sep |> I believe Nationalism is only another step in evolution . The nations that are most successful in international stage will eventually create a global unified community based on the most fitting cultures and national identities . The purpose of a nation when looked through this perspective is clear To provide the individual with means to compete against other individuals belonging to a different culture hence it is the very core of any nation today in existence . And maintaining a nation and national identity is only possible through nationalism . When you look at the world today the most successful countries are the ones that have a strong national identity .
