French President Emmanuel Macron denounced nationalism during an Armistice Day centennial observance in Paris on Sunday. Patriotism is the exact opposite of nationalism: Nationalism is treason, Macron said, according to a Euronews translator.
Macron spoke in front of world leaders including President Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
If we think our interests may only come first and we dont care for others, it is a treason of our values, a betrayal of all moral values, he said. We must remember this.
Macron said that the moral values of France helped them fight for the future of their country.
He praised the world leaders that formed the first League of Nations, after World War I.
They imagined the first international corporation, the dismantling of empires, and redefined borders, and dreamed at the time of a union, a political union of Europe, Macron said.
He lamented that the spirit of revenge and humiliation after World War I sparked renewed nationalism that led to World War II.
Macron defended organizations like the European Union and the United Nations, hailing their ideals despite their setbacks over the years. He called for a new era of science-built progress.
Together we can rise to the challenges of poverty, global warming, disease, inequality, and ignorance, he said. And we can win this together, because victory is possible together, together we can break away from the countertruths and injustices, we can counter the extremes which would drive us to war.
In an interview with CNN, Macron continued his condemnation of nationalism but was hesitant to claim the globalist label.
I would say Im a patriot, he said, but added: Im not a believer in a sort of globalism without any differentiation.

French President Emmanuel Macron: Nationalism Is Treason.
What an asshole.
MEMO TO MACRON: Watch out you about to step into the abyss. Better learn about what you are talking about before you step off.
And yet he is talking French and not German..... What an assclown.
Definition of nationalism
1
: loyalty and devotion to a nation
especially : a sense of national consciousness (see consciousness sense 1c) exalting one nation above all others and placing primary emphasis on promotion of its culture and interests as opposed to those of other nations or supranational groups
The Difference Between Nationalism, Patriotism, Sectionalism, and Jingoism
Nationalism has a number of near-synonyms, each of which carries its own distinct meaning. Patriotism is similar insofar as it emphasizes strong feelings for ones country, but it does not necessarily imply an attitude of superiority. Sectionalism resembles nationalism in its suggestion of a geopolitical group pursuing its self-interest, but the group in question is usually smaller than an entire nation. Jingoism closely resembles nationalism in suggesting feelings of cultural superiority, but unlike nationalism, it always implies military aggressiveness.
What good is patriotism if we don’t express it and fight for it? Luke warm gets spit out... .
Spoken like a true globalist puppet
With France’s leadership devolved so far, Germany would attack again now. Except that after World War 2, we made Germany like France. LOL!
Who listens to a corrupt mouthy socialist who smells like @ss on his best day? Macron can burn with the rest of the socialist slime.
They keep misspelling his name.
It should be: Maricón.......
Well, at least that is what they call people like him in Spanish.
Macron ‘was hesitant to claim the globalist label’???
the motto for Macron’s Peace Forum is: Peace is linked with global governance:
11 Nov: France24: Paris Peace Forum vows fightback against nationalist, authoritarian surge
by Benjamin Dodman
It is easier to make war than peace, an aging Clemenceau observed on the battlefield of Verdun, months after guns had fallen silent on the Western Front. It could have been a motto for the Paris Peace Forum that opened in the French capital on Sunday a catchier one perhaps than the somewhat drab Peace is linked with global governance adopted by the organisers

11 Nov: UN: When nations work together, hope prevails and collective solutions can be found - UN chief tells Peace Forum, marking World War centenary in Paris
From conflict and economic downturn to disease and climate change, global problems require more than ever a strengthening of international cooperation, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres told world leaders at the Paris Peace Forum on Sunday, commemorating 100 years since the end of the First World War...
This Paris Peace Forum, the first of its kind, is an initiative of the French Government led by President Emmanuel Macron. Held from 11 November to 13 November in the French capital, and labelled ***a global forum for governance projects, it gathers dozens of world leaders and representatives of international organisations, for a series of roundtables to discuss and reaffirm common commitment to tackle the great challenges of the world today...

This is insane, Nationalism and Patriotism mean virtually the same thing. What globalist hack twit.
Classic projection. Globalists know that they are codifying treason so the project that onto patriots.
You can be sort of a globalist. It like being sort of pregnant.
Well this happened to some my ancestors of mine...this was also said of them...
They were Americans born of Americans and had American grandparents and great grandparents in some cases...
They were all NATIONALISTS, loved America...their ancestors had died fighting for America...American heroes with the monuments to prove it...and some people who were later known as ‘patriots” declared them to be ‘treasonous’ and killed them, confiscated their American soil property and drove them off...sometimes right out of the country...
Today those ancestors of mine are called Loyalists...but in 1775-1783 they were NATIONALISTS...and despised...by ‘patriots’
Now don’t get stupid just because I am making sense....
Just think about it...
The children and grandchildren of those early Americans wandered back home...just as I did...
Still as NATIONALIST as can be...taught by my father who never saw this ancient home land but he was also in love with America...
and himself a far flung NATIONALIST...
NATIONALISM is in my blood...DNA would be 100% ...
Tennessee Nana
Nationalist
add this one: Globalism is patriotism.
Something someone in Bedlam would mutter...
Don’t forget that goody Things Change Prayer
their = there
Treason —to the world order?
He’s a “patriot” but not nationalistic??? My head hurts.
