How is that tens of millions of people who go around claiming they are the ones with independent thoughts while claiming everyone else are sheep aren't sheep themselves?
You can tell someone's lost an argument once they play the "sheep card".
Joe, if you're such an "independent" "free-thinking" "non-conformist" how come everything you say on this topic is stuff that's been said elswhere? Which thoughts that you've
espoused on the subject can you honestly say are yours and yours alone? How is quoting Einstein on nationalism in your tagline demonstrating your ability to "think independently"?
As far as saying that no one in the military could possibly be considered a "free-thinker", how do you think new military tactics and policies arise?
Your argument regarding nationalism is only valid in a fictitous world where no one else is nationalistic. It loses applicability in the real world. It makes sense to be nationalistic in a world where other people are nationalistic. Say there are only two countries. Both of them have no weapons and are peaceful. Over time, one of them begins to think they are the "better nation". They begin to develop weapons. They start to talk about their way of life being better than yours. They begin to talk about destroying your nation. They begin to talk about ethnic cleansing, they begin to talk about subverting your way of life. What is your best strategy? Better start building weapons or you are going to end up in a world of hurt.
Nationalism is the best strategy in a world that contains nationalism.
