Menion on Nostr: A “nation” is only an abstract idea in our minds, but it has no physical ...
A “nation” is only an abstract idea in our minds, but it has no physical existence. I might have a lot more in common with the guy who lives 200 miles away from me in another “nation” than with the jerk in my neighbourhood. Nevertheless, in nationalism I should rather be on the side of the jerk and, if necessary, fight the other, economically or physically. That should be enough to discard this “idea”.
