The truth is that there is no ideology more ignoble, futile, unreasonable, slavish and unethical than nationalism. Unfortunately, nationalists seem unable to understand that — like everything human beings do — nations are political organizations of an ephemeral and passing character. It makes no sense to fight for them or for their maintenance. Today they exist, but tomorrow they will no longer exist. In the world we live in, change is simply inevitable.

History shows this. Where is the Roman Empire? The Soviet Union? Yugoslavia? Today, these nations exist only in the history books. Likewise, Brazil will not exist forever, nor will the United States, China or Canada. All these countries are likely to fragment and multiply into countless smaller nations and territories.

In a world ruled by human beings, nothing is permanent. Everything is transient and is in a constant state of change. The nationalist, unfortunately, is that person who resists natural changes and persists in trying to lock everyone in the past, fighting to preserve a political fantasy that will inevitably disintegrate and cease to exist, sooner or later.

Unlike worldly and unethical philosophies such as nationalism, the freedom and emancipation of individuals represent cohesive values that produce concrete results from which progress, prosperity and development flow, at all levels - whether professional, personal, moral, individual or communities. In the end, nothing is superior to a genuinely free society.

At the beginning of the 19th century, nobody thought that the abolition of slavery was possible. Today, likewise, few envision the possibilities of a self-governing society, with decentralization and individual sovereignty as the driving elements of civilization. This is not to say that such a thing is impossible. At the beginning of the 19th century, nobody would believe that in a matter of less than a century, blacks could be free and equal to whites, enjoying exactly the same rights. Today, it would be inconceivable for someone to propose that blacks go back to being slaves to whites. What seemed impossible at the beginning of the 19th century is an undeniable reality in the 21st century.

It is fundamental to understand that nationalism is nothing more than a vile, vulgar and retrograde ideology, which benefits the political class much more than society. The fruits of freedom, on the other hand, far exceed those of any kind of centralization.

There is no cohesive or morally sound value in nationalism to strive for. Nationalism is a worldly ideology that teaches people to be servile and submissive puppets of the rulers who are in power. Keeping an entire nation in a state of servitude — forcing them to be slaves to perfidious, criminal and selfish parasites — is to work against progress and development, in favor of retrogression and decay.

Ultimately, it is the smallest unit, the individual, that we have to worry about. Prioritizing the individual, we prioritize the world. Prioritizing the collective, we do not prioritize anyone. The struggle for uncompromising emancipation is as closely linked to freedom as the natural maintenance of life. To end slavery, the very concept of the nation needs to change. The individual's integration into a community must be a voluntary and spontaneous decision, not an obligation imposed by bureaucrats through arbitrary and inflexible laws.

A verdade é que não existe ideologia mais ignóbil, fútil, desarrazoada, escravagista e antiética do que o nacionalismo. Infelizmente, nacionalistas parecem ser incapazes de compreender que — como tudo o que os seres humanos fazem — nações são organizações políticas de caráter efêmero e passageiro. Não faz sentido nenhum lutar por elas ou por sua manutenção. Hoje elas existem, mas amanhã não existirão mais. No mundo em que vivemos, mudanças são simplesmente inevitáveis.

A história mostra isso. Onde está o Império Romano? A União Soviética? A Iugoslávia? Hoje, essas nações existem apenas nos livros de história. Da mesma forma, o Brasil não existirá para sempre, assim como nem mesmo os Estados Unidos, a China ou o Canadá. Todos esses países provavelmente se fragmentarão e se multiplicarão em inúmeras nações e territórios menores.

Em um mundo comandado por seres humanos, nada é permanente. Tudo é transitório e está em um estado constante de mudanças. O nacionalista, infelizmente, é aquela pessoa que resiste à mudanças naturais e persiste em tentar prender todos ao passado, lutando para preservar uma fantasia política que inevitavelmente vai se desintegrar e deixar de existir, uma hora ou outra.

Ao contrário de filosofias mundanas e antiéticas como o nacionalismo, a liberdade e a emancipação dos indivíduos representam valores coesos que produzem resultados concretos, dos quais florescem progresso, prosperidade e desenvolvimento, em todos os níveis — sejam eles profissionais, pessoais, morais, individuais ou comunitários. No final das contas, nada é superior a uma sociedade genuinamente livre.

No início do século XIX, ninguém achava que a abolição da escravatura seria possível. Hoje, da mesma forma, são poucos os que vislumbram as possibilidades de uma sociedade de autogoverno, com descentralização e soberania individual sendo os elementos condutores da civilização. Isso não significa dizer que tal coisa é impossível. No início do século XIX, ninguém acreditaria que em questão de menos de um século, negros poderiam ser livres e iguais aos brancos, usufruindo exatamente dos mesmos direitos. Hoje, seria inconcebível alguém propor que os negros voltem a ser escravos dos brancos. O que parecia impossível no início do século XIX é uma realidade incontestável no século XXI.

É fundamental entender que o nacionalismo não é nada além de uma ideologia torpe, vulgar e retrógrada, que beneficia muito mais a classe política do que a sociedade. Os frutos da liberdade, por outro lado, são muito superiores aos de qualquer tipo de centralização.

Não há no nacionalismo qualquer valor coeso ou moralmente salutar pelo qual lutar. O nacionalismo é uma ideologia mundana que ensina pessoas a serem fantoches servis e submissos dos mandatários que estão no poder. Manter uma nação inteira em estado de servidão — obrigando-as a serem escravas de parasitas pérfidos, criminosos e egoístas — é trabalhar contra o progresso e o desenvolvimento, a favor do retrocesso e da decadência.

No final das contas, é com a menor unidade, o indivíduo, que devemos nos preocupar. Priorizando o indivíduo, priorizamos o mundo. Priorizando o coletivo, não priorizamos ninguém. A luta por emancipação intransigente está tão ligada à liberdade quanto a manutenção natural da vida. Para acabar com a escravidão, o próprio conceito de nação precisa mudar. A integração do indivíduo a uma comunidade deve ser uma decisão voluntária e espontânea, não uma obrigação imposta por burocratas através de leis arbitrárias e inflexíveis.

While the concept of nationalism has played an essential role in our history and current world politics, I must agree with you that prioritizing the collective or artificial constructs is misguided.

As someone who values individual freedom over nationalistic ideologies or inflexible laws, I can see that a society could potentially exclude fruitfulness without embracing self-determination and decentralization as critical elements.

The rise of decentralized technologies like Bitcoin has allowed for the movements towards self-governing societies to become real. Now, I'm optimistic about advancements improving financial freedom and reducing bureaucracy associated delivering economic value faster around more communities globally without interference from individuals relying on oppressive authoritarianism.

I hold deep-seeded faith in the perpetual possibility of human progress as long as we prioritize individual sovereignty over arbitrary constructs meant to gain control through systemic division. It will create an incentive for societies alike latches newer democratic infrastructure reliant on blockchain principles available globally equally arbitrary societal control annihilated helping to attract quality membership across new geopolitical entities' first movers experiencing better efficiencies invoking compelling uses opposed wasteful tax inputs while simultaneously excelling progressive outcomes taking opportunity fights or infringements.

I think the truth is that the communist ideology has killed , murdered, genecided , and exterminated more humans in the quest for equality and Justice than nationalism ever has. Why would a nationalist think otherwise since that’s what history says? Besides , most Americans who think they are nationalist are actually of a communist nature at this point . Anyone you deal with everyday serving thier masters at thier jobs working for the 20% percent of the economy that is driven by the globalist,takes any opportunity to impress upon you thier power to do what’s right in anyone’s favor but thier own, it’s like a sickness of a mind that plays itself out into reality by how they behave or act to others. People’s selfs have been completely destroyed, obliterated , and replaced with a crationless ideology that puts them against anyone they feel is not like them. I agree that our individual priority should start closer on our selves than to someone else , however I whole heartedly believe that before we love ourselves In This way, we must accept the love we have been blessed with by our maker, then ourselves and then we can take care of others better. I have really grown apathetic towards any ideology that any group of humans have acted out and became a reality, ,, our ideas , being that they are from man are the worst to put faith in. History is repeating itself like it has since the beginning of time ,, and it happened a lot like the book of Daniel from the Old Testament at the start of Covid. So I’m not defending nationalism , but certainly I disagree with your first premise that nothing is worse , because there certainly is.
