    The irony of calling out nationalism in a community named “Buy European”…

    “Yeah, we are nationalistic, but not that nationalistic!”

    I know, unpopular opinion, just vote me down.

    (I agree with the “don’t support Nazis” part independent from the nationalism topic, though)

    Kind of, but remember that Europe is not a nation, so I don’t know if nationalism is the correct term.

      Chauvinism or jingoism might work.

      Also, while europe isnt a single nation, the EU is a single economy, so maybe “nationalism” still applies.

      Yes, you are certainly right and I also understand that.
      But it has the same reasoning and feels like it, stressing themes of common identity and all, even though Europe technically isn’t a nation.
