I have written more but here's a digestible extract:

(...) I also support rightwing political ideas. What is good about that? I like my nation mainly because of its people, my tribe. I like areas within the state, such as places and neighborhoods. I cherish the people I have met, connections loving and deep, making me feel loved and supported like a functional family would. Each spacial level contributes to my overall nationalist sense of belonging. I am curently not part of a group or community in the tribal sense - a circumstance resulting in fragilily and disorientation. Living loosely subjugates my wellbeing and life prospects, especially when approaching later life stages. Being close to people with similar outer (skin color) and inner (personality, values) attributes provides a sense of ease, coherance and affiliation I would likely not have elsewhere. Even though I am detached personally, I may observe people interact in ways I recognize thereby deriving a sense of belonging that feels achievable. In times of hardship and isolation, this has brought moments of relief. Such notions of connectedness provide hope and potentially meaning, fostering health and healing. (...) Minding the wellbeing of "our people" feels closest to taking care of ourselves. This is why acting as a nationalist is a healthy, functional state of being. We get to locate and validate ourselves within our tribe and stand together confident, strong and united.

Bad? It could be bad if we forget that we are also individuals that may have different needs than our tribe / nation, requiring the occasional shift in priorities. Being a nationalist in my book does not equate with putting the nation above all else. It does not even mean thinking one and one's nation are fundamentally better than others' - that would be a white supremacist. Nationalism for the most part is the modern default route to integration within the species of men, it being one of the larger concentric circles of the social self.
