It's so ironic: nationalists always talk about what is supposedly so unique about their own nation, but whatever really is unique about it is generally hated by the nationalists, while what the nationalists like, along with the nationalists themselves -- and what the nationalists like is usually just themselves and nothing and no-one else -- is exactly the same in every nation. So much so that in order for me to give perfectly clear and recognizable examples, there will be no need whatsoever for me to name any nations.
For example: the nationalist's nation has been caught doing something bad in another part of the world. The nationalist says:
-- that the bad behavior which was discovered and exposed to the world was not actually so bad;
-- that the local journalists reporting on it are rubbing their hands with glee as they grotesquely exaggerate the affair, because they want nothing so much as to see their own nation destroyed;
-- that if people from the foreign nation the nationalist hates the most (if all of the other nations in the world aren't tied for that privilege) had done something comparable in the nationalist's nation, no-one would've complained (but the nationalist IS complaining, and it hasn't even happened);
-- that people from other nations actually have been doing the same, and much worse;
and yada yada yada and so forth and so on.
You know the drill. you know it well, no matter what part of the world you live in. Because these idiots are everywhere.
