Entry: Nationalism is What We Need Now--The Case for an "Unpatriotic Conservatism" Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/nationalism_is_what_we_need_now_a_case_for_an_unpatriotic_conservatism#23478 Post contents: Scott: I wasn't implying that the threat of globalism is external. Rather, the threat of globalism comes from an ideology to which our elites have subscribed. It seems that we're largely in agreement. I'm in favor of some bulwark (regardless what you want to name it) which most effectively is able to combat the deracination of globalization. Isn't the patriotism/nationalism distinction more of an Anglo-American distinction? For example, the "French nationalists" I've known have no desire to invade the Middle East or plant the French flag again in Algeria; rather, they are motivated by maintaining the traditional character of France, ceasing Third World immigration, and pulling out of the EU.
