Nationalism is a product of modernism. It is not the way that people have thought for the majority of human history. It is one of the ideas that came out of the Jacobin revolution in France.

This is important because the ruling class which is globalist today wasn't even nationalist in the past. The ruling classes existed through nobilitys loyalty to the monarch, and the nobility lived in the same regions that they ruled. Rather than being highly concerned about universal loyalty to the empire, individuals were loyal to their local Lord, who in turn had relationships with other Lords and the monarch they pledge allegiance to. Such a thing was nothing like the modern nation state. If you were the head of a principality for example, you and your people would identify yourselves through your principality.

The early United States were similar to an extent. States existed, under the United States. Someone from Texas would identify as a Texan before they identified as an American.

The reason this matters is it shows the difference between the ruling class of the past who may have been disconnected from the people that they ruled in some ways but still lived and worked in are those regions and identify themselves with those regions, and the current globalist ruling class who thinks that any empathy for the people that they directly rule is inherently immoral.
