Indeed
IndeedPoliticians and states and, uh, 'deep-states' wage aggressive wars. They historically have appealed to national identity to justify aggression by claiming that 'the nation is being threatened'..
I'd agree that nationalist sentiment is in some respects weaker than it once was. In any event, this isn't the aggression I was taking about. I was talking about the aggression inherent in restricting the free movement of goods/people across borders, or any other state actions which nationalists advocate to "preserve muh culture" and so forth.This is being largely discarded now - see Libya - where a perfunctory "him bad, must smash" was all they flushed out to the public for a few days before commencing hostilities.
