Bryant McGillExtreme nationalism objectifies and dehumanizes those from other countries.
About This Quote
Nationalism is something that can be inspiring, but when it becomes extreme, it becomes something that objectifies other people. Extreme nationalism is held up as the greatest example of what is wrong with people today. This extreme form of nationalism can lead to actions like the Holocaust and the racist policies of Hitler. On the other hand, nationalism can also bring together people from different cultures to build a better world.
