Which are not very nationalists nowadays. Its mostly "we want to keep western values and culture".. which now is high treason i guess..
It's mostly about dismissing most of modern Western culture as "woke nonsense" whilst demonstrating fealty to the idea of it by showing they hate foreign cultures even more...
