Student learns to think for himself

I heard of a survey where they asked “would you rather be paid $10 and your neighbor be paid the same, or be paid $20 and your neighbor be paid $50?” The majority would rather get half as much and be equal than get twice as much if their neighbor got more.
That’s not a higher standard of living, but it is equality.

A timely quote to be sure!

No, it's not the answer to wanting higher standards of living; capitalism is. There's nothing wrong with nationalism, though. It can bind people of a nation together regardless of ethnicity or other differences, which is something this country could use a little of. The only people who are against it are people who want us to be divided along class or racial lines rather than national.

You're confusing nationalism with patriotism. The former lends itself towards xenophobia because of the shared ethno, religious, cultural heritage it focuses on.

Further, multi ethnic states mean something other than multi ethnic states in your dictionary? Given that the three mentioned are comprised of such, and that some have in the past and present splintered off along those lines (Russia after the USSR ended; British Commonwealth losing colonies since the end of WWII and NATIONALIST movements for Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland to separate from the UK. Even the Falklands had a referendum for such not too long ago.

You too need to look things up.

For future reference, pay attention not only to what I say, but specifically how I said it.

nationalism is for 1 country advocating for 1 race is ethnostate

capitalism breeds inequality and foster hate between social classes and other things but think of it like this
capitalism wants profit over human needs
if you dont have the cash you dont get your needs met and with corporates barely paying there workers just so the corporate can have more cash means that workers dont have enough cash if not barely enough which is why most people dont leave there moms house till they are like 20 or 19 and move into there own house

capitalism makes getting a house harder and therefore lowers the living standard to those who dont get a surplus of money
