A quotation from Adlai Stevenson

Joint action is, after all, the final significance of all we do in our international politics today. But we are still held back by our old parochial nationalisms. We are still beset by dark prejudices. We are still divided by angry, conflicting ideologies. Yet all around us our science, our instruments, our technologies, our interests, and indeed our deepest aspirations draw us more and more closely into a single neighborhood.

Adlai Stevenson II (1900–1965) American politician, diplomat, statesman
Speech (1965-07-09), “Strengthening the International Development Institutions,” sec. 12, United Nations Economic and Social Council, Palais des Nations, Geneva, Switzerland

    A quotation from Henry Commager

    It is easier to say what loyalty is not than to say what it is. It is not conformity. It is not passive acquiescence in the status quo. It is not preference for everything American over everything foreign. It is not an ostrich-like ignorance of other countries and other institutions. It is not the indulgence in ceremony — a flag salute, an oath of allegiance, a fervid verbal declaration. It is not a particular creed, a particular version of history, a particular body of economic practices, a particular philosophy.

    Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist
    Essay (1947-07), “Who Is Loyal to America?” sec. 4, Harper’s Magazine, Vol. 195, No. 1168

      A quotation from Bertrand Russell

      Patriotism of the nationalistic type, so far from being taught in schools, ought to be mentioned as a form of mass-hysteria to which men are unfortunately liable, and against they need to be fortified both intellectually and morally. Nationalism is undoubtedly the most dangerous vice of our time.

      Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
      Education and the Social Order [Education and the Modern World], ch. 10 “Patriotism in Education” (1932)

        Bit convoluted but otherwise excellent piece on the manufacturing of Jewish collective guilt.

        "The old structure survived beneath newer ideological clothing. Entire populations became suspect through association. became a matter not of conduct but of presumed affiliation. The accusation could move from to to without losing its essential shape.

        A peculiar feature of this is that the accusation often works in opposite directions simultaneously. have been condemned for insufficient attachment to a nation and excessive attachment to a nation. They have been accused of dangerous and dangerous . They have been portrayed as disloyal outsiders and as hyper-coordinated insiders. The content shifts according to circumstance. The demand remains remarkably stable: explain yourself. Declare your . Account for others.

        That demand has not disappeared. It has merely become more sophisticated."

          Say NO to separation but most importantly, give a resounding NO to racist anti-immigrant rhetoric to deny basic care and societal inclusion of newcomers!

          I can't stress this enough. They're all interconnected but separation ia a distraction from their more direct divisive politics. If Alberta separates then exclusive hate will rule in a new nation, but in the much more likely scenario that we don't separate, they will win anyways if they turn our Alberta into the one they wanted to create.

          On May 29th, tens of thousands of Albertans took to the streets in 16+ communities in a historic province wide protest. & it's happening again.

            GUNPOINT GOSPEL HOLY WAR

            SINS of Christian Nationalism & Zionism

            Sins of Christian War-Making

            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-maDeoEDiI

            Synopsis:

            Holy war is a doctrine of the devil. Every church and organization promoting war for Christ is anti-christ.

            Man cannot solve the evil in the world by 'fighting' or violence. That is exactly what the devil and his minions want. The gospel can not be spread by the sword or power of the state.

            Every form of radical liberation theology or dominion theology is satanic because it denies the word of God and replaces it with the gospel of war.

            Christian nationalists hate the lost because they too are lost souls with a messiah complex. Instead of following the messiah they want to reconstruct him in the imperial state. They do not have love of their neighbor.

            My observation:

            Christian Nationalism is disguised Roman imperialism, globalism and Zionism, hence it is neither Christian nor nationalist in character. Christian Nationalism has the same character imprint as Holy Roman Empire crusaderism. It is wicked and deceitful.

            Christian Nationalists claim to advance 'dominion' or 'taking dominion'. This is blasphemy. The dominion over the nations was given to Jesus, not to imperfect men. Jesus is the one who is given dominion over all the nations. Thus Christian Nationalism blasphemously posits itself as the messiah with the dominion, just like its Catholic parent church.

              Christian Nationalism is a ruse to eliminate separation of church and state.

              While everyone is distracted by the scripted ICE theater the counter-reformation unification of Roman Church and state proceeds stealthily. Rome's agents are slowly converting America to the Imperial Roman religion. This is the true goal of so-called 'Christian Nationalism': the forcible conversion of America to Roman imperial Christianity, a la Constantine and Justinian.

              From his bully pulpit the President is proclaiming Imperial Roman religion about their Roman moon goddess Mary, also known as Minerva, Venus, Easter, Astarte, Semiramis, and Isis.

              Presidential Message on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception

              "In her honor, and on a day so special to our Catholic citizens, we remember the sacred words that have brought aid, comfort, and support to generations of American believers in times of need: Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen."
