Thats not the point of @kumikochan 's argument. Im guessing youve never had a debate before and got through in life by calling other people names (ad hominem)?
You're using straw men and have yet to rebuke his/her comment.
Is Nationalism a form of government? No.

@el_gonz87 your reading comprehension is non existent. Please learn to read.
2: a nationalist movement or government <opposing nationalisms>

Key word there is "nationalist" not "nationalism."
Of course a government can be nationalist the same way it can be muslim, but islam isnt a political structure, its a belief system.

It seems belittling someone is the only way you'll ever "win" an argument.

A nationalist movement or government is a definition for nationalism according to a dictionary. There is such thing as context. lol

How is brexit belittling? Is that worse than calling someone dumb? LOL. Elitism at it's finest.

It doesn't mean nationalism is a political structure.
It's a belief system just like Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Shintoism , Buddhism, Hinduism, Satanism etc.
Nationalism is an ideology not a political structure:
Nationalism is a complex, multidimensional concept involving a shared communal identification with one's nation. It is a political ideology oriented towards gaining and maintaining self-governance, or full sovereignty, over a territory of historical significance to the group (such as its homeland). Nationalism therefore holds that a nation should govern itself, free from unwanted outside interference, and is linked to the concept of self-determination. Nationalism is further oriented towards developing and maintaining a national identity based on shared characteristics such as culture, language, religion, political goals and/or a belief in a common ancestry.[1][2] Nationalism therefore seeks to preserve the nation's culture. It often also involves a sense of pride in the nation's achievements, and is closely linked to the concept of patriotism. In these terms, nationalism can be positive or negative.[3]

Thats why its not exclusive to a certain wing, because it is a way of thought.
And before I hear a wikipedia is unreliable comment, only imbeciles think that.

Anyone notice the issue with this post?

I don't seem to recall people bitching and moaning when Obama did the same thing back in 2011 :ninja: I see nothing wrong with wanting to tightening the process to make things more secure. But no, a liberal butthurt judge from Washington had to put a temporary injunction on it. Gimme a fucking break.
