Self defense is Biblical.
And so is Nationalism. 🇺🇲

It has to be, there’s evil about in the world.
Nationalism *is* self defense.
Nationalism can be a legitimate means of self-defense, such as when a nation seeks to protect its sovereignty, security, or cultural identity from external threats. However, when nationalism is used to justify exclusion, aggression, or oppression, it is not a form of self-defense, but rather a harmful and unjust ideology.
Hitler was an Imperialist not a nationalist.
Hmmm he was a nationalist who justified his imperialist ideas via the need for Germany to expand I’d say
But it all went tits up as he let his imperialist dreams fuck the positive nationalist ideas. As usual power corrupts
Can't be both. They're at odds.
You either support self determination of nations or the rollup under a god state.
Hitler was in the latter camp.
I don’t think it’s that straight forward. What often starts as self determination ends as an orgy of corruption. Humans 🤷♂️
He was enabled, and people fell under a spell. Much like today with powerful manipulation of news
This has roots in ww2. The Nazis were pioneers in the then new technology of radio for propaganda. It's only got worse in the intervening century. See also Edward Bernays. Americans are some of the most propagandized people in all of history.
Quibble: Self defense is Darwinian, pre biblical by a few billion years…..
Self defense nd nationalism both reflect the natural right to protect what is ours.... Our lives, values nd communities.. 🫶🫶🧡...
By the way.. love the drawing/art.. 🧡🧡
