Script:
Britain votes to leave the European Union. The United States elects a president who says he’ll put “America First.”
Around the world, nationalism is winning elections. Many see this nationalist revival as the great danger of our time, fearing that nationalism will take us back to a more primitive and racist past.
But it wasn’t long ago that great political figures such as Woodrow Wilson and Teddy Roosevelt, David Ben-Gurion and Mahatma Gandhi, Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher recognized what I call the virtue of nationalism.
So, what is this virtue?
A nationalist believes that the world is governed best when nations are free to chart their own independent course, cultivating their traditions and pursuing their interests without interference. Nationalism is not about racism. All nations are internally diverse. And it isn’t about isolationism.
Of course, nations can a pursue a variety of different policies in diplomacy and trade. Nationalism is the opposite of imperialism—or globalism or transnationalism—which are all names for the attempt to bring peace and prosperity to the world by uniting mankind under a single political authority.
The debate between nationalists and globalists, then, is over whether we should aspire to a world of many independent nations—or to be one unified super-state, like the enlightened “Federation” of the Star Trek movies. A case can be made for both sides of the argument. But for the last 30 years—really, since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the end of the Soviet Union—the “one world“ side has been dominant.
Today, this is changing. Maybe not among elites, but among ordinary citizens—or, as they are known in America, “the deplorables.” It turns out that a lot of people still think good borders make good neighbors.
It’s hardly surprising that people want to preserve the way of life they and their ancestors built up over centuries, the way of life they believe is best. It’s human nature. Our strongest loyalties are to those who are closest to us: to our family; then the larger community or “tribe”, and finally, to the nation.

Bro forgot to talk about French Revolution, the birthplace of nationalism
Natuonalism always regard ethnic minorites as second class citizens and thats a major issue.
I think the most pressing issue with nationalism is that it creates group think. It increases tribal tendencies in humans that are ill fitted to the modern world.
I don't believe anyone ought to sacrifice themselves for their country and I don't believe people outside one's country are as different as nationalists make them. Making borders secure mustn't stem from we are good and they are bad therefore we must defend it – it ought come from pragmatic assessment of the situation.
In the end nationalism is a mental shortcut and it has its ramifications.
Because you are brainwashed
nationalism is far from freedom
Nazism was a form of nationalism, and almost all wars were caused directly by nationalism. He got the right facts but his argument is all wrong.

Nationalism is curse for humanity.
Nationalism by this definition supports the internal formation of free nations by those that would make up that nation. For example: the Palestinians, Taiwan, Ukraine, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and even conceivably the Chicano south. Nationalism that is lead to international isolationism lead to economic and technological decline, the problems that are avoided now will quickly come to find you. Nationalism that forces the dominance of a single political, religious or other monolithic group is not freedom, it is oppression: Christians over agnostic or muslims, heterosexuals over LGBTQ, Whites over blacks, wealthy over poor, and so on. Also, nationalism that leads to the belief that one's nation is the best and superior lead to imperialism.
You can claim the nation-state, or you can claim the Kingdom of God. You can't claim both; the nation-state is a false God and so-called Christians who venerate or die for it are false Christians.
That "natural loyalty" is often called 'subsidiarity.'
Explain to me how Germany was worse off under AH? He was loved by his people and propelled Germany into the most advanced nation on earth in 6 years. Amazing what can be once the banker class of subversives aren’t weighing and dragging down your country.
King Henry just wanted to be able to divorce and murder his wives. It had nothing to do with politics.
And What is the difference of Nationalism and Patriotism?
If Nationalism is not the trigger of ww 1 and 2. What is the relation Gravrillo Princip a slav Nationalist?
amerimutt trying to be like europe, yeah it's true what he said about imperialism posing as nationalism
Woodero Willson was not a great politician, he was an openly racist, openly misogynistic president who was way to indecisive and got into the presidency on a lie of staying out of ww1. Also when I say he was racist. I'm not just being g a bit hurt liberal, this was the 1910's, this dude was racist as shit.
I took a class on the EU in college, the thing PragerU hates more than anything. Let’s get our facts straight. The EU was NOT established in 1992. In fact, it’s roots go back to at least 1957 with the establishment of the European Economic Community. After going through some changes in the 60s, the EEC expanded its membership in 1973. The EU NAME was chosen with the signing of the Treaty of Maastricht which didn’t go into effect until late 1993, not 1992. There was already a long-established pan-European body before the 1990s, including during the Thatcherite period. Britain joined during the 1973 expansion. Again, get your facts straight. Oh and don’t get me started on your “Hitler wasn’t a nationalist” nonsense.
0:26 Woodrow Wilson is a great person? My ass he is!!
Before you drink the kool-aid being offered up here, read up on Prager, the founder.
If your views align with his, then fine, you know what you are supporting. If not, then you may want to be more cautious about hitching your wagon to this group and their narratives and agenda.

Anyone that starts a sentence with "If you care about freedom, then you…" is someone to be weary of.
People like to mock me for being proud of my County.
globalization is not a goal or an active process it's just a side effect of the development of the current would
And trying to actively stop it is both backward and Useless
This made no sense what so ever lmao
