Well, in this imperfect world being Nationalistic beats the hell out of being imperialistic, me thinks.

But I'm saying that nationalism leads to imperialism. Think Hitler. Think British Empire. When you stop caring about johnny foreigner, you lose respect for him. When you have no respect for him, you might as well inade his country and take what's his...

Nationalism is on the increase here in the UK.
As the conservatives recoil further and further from Europe and anti-immigration hysteria increases, our extreme right is gaining more and more ground. It's under control for the moment, but I can see it getting a lot worse in the next few years.

Besides, if a country is hated by everyone else, an strong nationalism is the only way to survive,

But I think strong nationalism is one of the things that leads to a country being hated.
