What are the odds? Controling influx of foreigners into one’s country is a legitimate concern. If that is a slippery slope toward Nazism, then national = Nazism, and it simply ain’t so.

Of course it is, legal or illegal. It’s been a concern in different parts of the world for over 70 years; certainly since WW2. In your neck of the woods too.

Are or were all nationalists Nazis? Nope. Do or did Nazis have nationalistic sentiments, or were they nationalists? Absolutely.
BTW, there are many neo-Nazi groups in Europe nowadays and growing in size.
Why do nations have armies? Isn’t that to protect them from foreign invaders? Is that nationalism? Does it really make any difference whether a foreign nation invades or your own traitorous politicians bring in foreign nations to invade your nation?
