~/Coolio Prime\~ Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 I'd much rather have "conceptism". I could hate the US one day and like it the next depending on what it as a whole was doing, so why embrace a concept that only inspires ignorance and blind-support when concepts as a whole are far less susceptible to change and your view will likely change depending on how you change as a person, while it's harder to monitor where the source of change is truly coming from when your love is given to a fluid idea?

[/quote] I see where you are coming. If you liked the president or what America was supporting at the point, you could say you liked America. But if, suddenly, we changed government, presidency, and support of certain ideas, you could say you hate America. But Nationalism can also be to what originally was used. Like with Italy and Germany in the 1800s, they wanted a complete country, not broken up states governing themselves. They felt pride in the whole, not in the piece.
