Macron, Nationalism

Just a quick thought or observation from a few days ago where I saw some clip of France’s President Macron, in the wake of EU election results which didn’t go his way, calling for I think immediate French general election. It showed him making very negative slanted comment on ‘nationalism’ as if it were a dirty word, and clearly considered a threat to what Macron considered desirable - which by inference is obviously a globalist agenda.

This would have been a good point for someone to interject and say, “Sorry Emmanuel, aren’t you the head of the nation? Do you understand the chain of connections we have here and the problem we might have? We have the idea of nationalism, which gives birth to the nation, and so here you are, the head of the nation, but you’re decrying nationalism. That’s a bit like the managing director of a truck company berating the shareholders at a general meeting he thinks trucks shouldn’t be on the roads. He might give a load of reasons why trucks should be off the roads, but however forceful he may be, we can be pretty confident in saying he’s still the wrong person to be heading this truck company.” Given his views, his actions are virtually certain to amount to that of a traitor to the interests of what he’s meant to be representing.

And if the heads of nations like Macron are ideologically viewing nations/nationalism as a negative, then these are most definitely the wrong people for the best interests of these nations. And thus of course it becomes very easy to see the intent in intentionally undermining of the sound structure of their nations through things like flooding them with immigrants, which is of course happening all over the place. There’s also the laughable equivalent where populism is decried as a threat to democracy! What kind of democracy would that be again where the wishes of the populace at large are a threat to democracy? It would probably be an idea democracy, where ruling elites impose their will on the people rather than represent the will of the people.

And to add, whatever about some involved’s undeclared hidden desires, the European Union was always supposed to be simply means of aiding economic interplay between European nations. It was not supposed to be any kind of unified political superstructure, a next step up from the nation state. But I think it’s pretty easy to see stooges like Macron view things differently.
