well, I can only speak for myself, and it may sound pretty ****ty, but I'm a nationalist. I like to think that my country and form of government is better than everyone elses. Moreover, Im an imperialist in the same way that the british were imperialists when they burned washington, and the french were imperialists when they were raping Africa.
I like to think that my country is entitled to some kind of emminent domain over the rest of the world. And I would like to think that every other person in the world feels the same way about their own country. Thus, I can be sure that everyone else distrusts and dislikes me and my culture, and I can feel safe in a world of mutual hatred and political strife.
I feel like my way of life is being jepordized whenever the world 'gets smaller' and things happen like the berlin wall coming down, or russia falling apart, or china and tiawan improving their relationships. thats why I play WAR games. I like to fantasize about human suffering and imperialist conquest from the safty of my own home.
