Nationalism is a way of thinking, mobilization of sentiment to have ppl think there country is better than any other country; way of thinking of the world as a whole. Einstein pretty much thinks nationalism is b. s and childish and that humanity will get ovr it. Nationalism esp the kind based in blood is a type of parochialism.
