Not sure what your deal is but if you’ve got a problem with strong nationalism then I’m your huckleberry.
Care to explain what you meant?
I meant no disrespect to Nationalism! I basically think we (the world) is at a crossroads, and we can choose either Globalism or Nationalism. I choose Nationalism. I see this topic as the big struggle for the coming decades.
But I wasn't actually trying to make a comment about that difference in worldview.
I was really making a snarky comment about the 1920s and a previous time when Berlin was "poor but sexy". The Germans chose a National Socialist named Hitler to get them to a better place. Meanwhile, Italy had already made a similar choice, putting Mussolini in power with the understanding that the Fascists would fix what was broken and "make the trains run on time".
So I was conflating Hitler and Mussolini and worrying that Europe/Berlin would choose bad leaders as a fix to the problems already caused by their previous bad choices regarding refugees and other such things.
For the record: I see Trump as a Nationalist who will (I hope) fix things. But I do NOT see Trump as any sort of Nazi or Socialist or Fascist. I think Trump is a populist and nationalist and that is what I want.
He “meant” Il Duce.
