"Become a world power"

You know, we've had that experience before, "everywhere else" would pretty much prefer that didn't happen again, thank you very much.

lol yea. I’m an American and fully support other nations boycotting our goods but I’m noticing an overlap with these boycotts and nationalist-imperialist sentiments.

THIS; I feel deranged, not hearing anyone else say they've noticed it.

Weirdly enough, from what I've seen, European nationalists tend to be very much against the EU.

[–] Scott_of_the_Arctic@lemmy.world 10 points 20 hours ago

That's not entirely true. Europeans tend to dress up racism as national pride and concern for cultural norms (with a few exceptions). So it isn't so much "I'm proud of my country" as "I don't want Arabs and Africans on my street".

A lot of European countries have a long and detailed history that paints a grim picture that most people like to distance ourselves from.
