Episode Description
Justin Stapley discusses his argument that the definition of nationalism should be separated from the aspects of nationism and patriotism that are often held as subset aspects of nationalism's broader definition. He argues that nationism is the process of the rise of nations, patriotism is pure civic virtue, and nationalism should be simply the rise of tribalism in a modern context.Originally published: TCU on Twitter: @ConservativeUG
