Is being a nationalist pointless?
I always wonder how people can be so emotional and reactive about a piece of land, a piece of land whose borders change over time, whose governance changes over time, whose trajectory changes over time. Perhaps it was democratic but suddenly became a dictatorship. Perhaps it was A's ally yesterday but became A's enemy the next day. Perhaps it was religious one day but became atheistic another day.
Why become so tied to an entity that is so unpredictable when it comes to its size and trajectory?
