I just laid down the fact, that this shitty idea of the nation state, that came into fashion in the 19th century laid the ideological groundwork to many of the astrocities in the following two centuries. This is common knowledge.

Proof by assertion is a logical fallacy, not evidence.

A nation is not a thing that exists. There are different forms of cultures that can develop together or go in different directions

Yes, they do. They're not eternal as they do get created, killed, and changed all the time. However, nations, as a concept, do represent a real phenomenon.

depending on who is in power and who draws the borders.

States and nations aren't interchangeable terms. Japan is a nation state, my home country of Iraq is very much not.

But to be honest, I have no interest to doscuss any further with you since you constantly talked down to me and behaved like an asshole. It is just not worth the effort. So fuck that, believe what you want.

I went out of my way to make sure that my comment didn't have any personal insults. My comment had so much substance that directly responded to your points, and it's interesting that you responded to none of it. My comment contained a grand total of 3 criticisms, all of which were directed towards your statements.

If this is all it takes for you to get this sort of reaction then there are two possibilities. Either you're really this sensitive and somebody saying one of your arguments is from 2014 tumblr is enough to send you over the edge or, and I think is much more likely, is that you actually have nothing of value to say and this was just a convenient cop out. Either way, I don't care, I've made my points and they stand on their own. Whether you reply or not makes no difference.
