I also use dollars instead of integral symbols, I don't do math though.

Nationalism as a function, to use your terms, doesn't have to specifically be a result of a desire for cultural identity. It might, but when speaking of it as a function it has a narrower meaning and doesn't have to carry additional baggage like that, though it may often imply it. When speaking of nationalism as ideology, it definitely fits my definition of evil, by putting artifical values above the wellbeing of people, which nationalism does by definition. Following that logic, nationalism as function isn't necessarily evil (though it may be if you flavor it with racism or such, like Confederation did), while nationalism as ideology necessarily is. I'm not sure what specifically you were disagreeing with, so I hope I made my point clearer.

Nationalism as a political ideology and nationalism as advocacy for independence of people sharing national identity that isn't broadly recognized as official nation are two different things sharing the same name. Nationalism as political ideology is inherently evil, as it puts interests of an artifical construct above interests of people, with specific attention put to ingroup and outgroup dynamics. Separatists movements aren't inherently evil, with the desire of liberation being usually something everyone can stand behind, but if those movements co-opt the nationalist ideology, then they may be classified as evil in my book. Or evil-er. There are no perfect victims and such.

I feel like it's a meaningful distinction to make.

General strike lets gooo

I'm pretty sure that a bartender that doesn't stock a specific brand of beer out of disgust for it won't sell it to you. You're way overreaching with your criticism of reasonably viable story.

Well, imagine him being broke, homeless, despised by everyone and treated like interacting with him could lead you to the exclusion from the society. Warms your heart, doesn't it? I don't want him dead, I wish him worse. I want him thanking bums for pissing on him so he doesn't lose more fingers to the frostbite and cursing himself for pushing for cutting social safety net.

Sounds like DEI, so I think it's not going to fly in the current political climate.

I send anything that isn't plain text or something I requested straight to security to keep those fucks sharp, I wish they summarized emails I sent them instead of complaining that I keep doing it though.

Having principles you stuck to that are helpful to the world is never cringe, it's a display of feeling of inferiority when someone critiques you for having a virtue. They feel that their comfortable bed of lies is threatened when someone shows that it's not societaly acceptable to be a dick, while they lived their lives accepting that they may sometimes be allowed certain priviledges if they conform to the "norm". I hope one day we get the world to the place where virtues are rightly celebrated instead of being called cringe.

They are beholden to the same investors. It's the investors that pick whenever we get rainbow flavored wage slavery or nazi flavored slave-wagery for the next 4 years. It seems that our overlords decided that it's too costly to put effort into pretending that that's not the case, so we got this piece of shit basicially saying the quiet part out loud. I am actually surprised how little backlash from the USA citizens happened so far, but I hope the guilottines get deployed soon, because it gets embarassing watching this farce.

Robes? Sure, they are comfy. But a hat this pointy? In a place that I'd assume to be pretty windy? If that's a fashion statement, then that's really impractical and I hope you're not allowed anywhere close the runic circles.
