What is this weird nationalism? Investing in a company from a foreign country does not make you a bad (or good) person. There is no moral duty to make your own country the most economically powerful one.

No? Then why do we ask people to give their lives to make it a safe one?

  • Safe isn't the same as economically powerful.

    Look at Bhutan with their Gross National Happiness as an alternative.

  • Are you in America? No one in the Us military is giving up lives to keep citizens safe.

    For other countries, it’s because the nation state is the current agreed upon divider for certain things like borders.

    To moralize nationalism is weird and anti-humanity.
