This.

There are those who will interpret nationalism as "superiority". Then those who will see nationalism as "caring for one's nation". I think when people debate, they need to make clear they are on the same page as per terminology. I do not, btw, know anyone who considers their nation to be superior to anybody else's. It seems definitely to be an unintelligent idea.

When 1914 and 1938 get mentioned, I always have a thought at the back of my head that links Merkel's open door policy with German dark history. A stigma to overcome.

Back to "make love, not war".
