Humans have always fought with one another. From the days of the Neanderthals to Adolf Hitler, the world have always been at war. People have fought for their families, for their tribe, for their country since the dawn of man.
But after WW2, nations decided that wars in the west was going to be prevented at any cost. No more empires or kingdoms, only countries and states.
It feels like people have lost their sense of country pride in the west. People are more interested in their own economic interests, than in the interest of the country as a whole.
In China, on the other hand, people are very nationalistic and proud of their country, and are becoming increasingly hostile towards foreigners in their country.
Are western societies doomed to be based on consumerism since the creation of these to unions? No more nationalism and country pride, only consumerism and multiculturalism? Are western people ever going to rise up?
You're either retarded or have an awful romanticized version of how people in the past reasoned.

Unions are very weak in the US.
Consumerism is at its strongest. Nationalism is also at its strongest in recent years.

in a total war scenario, can you envision the average modern day American signing up for the military voluntarily in droves and making all of the sacrifices on the home front as they did during WW II?
I can't.
Can you imagine the modern day Chinese doing it?
I can

Maybe you shouldn't base your worldview on what is beneficial in a total war scenario.
If the world has come to that point, you have already failed in any case.

Yep, schools in the west are teaching the children that country pride is evil. White people are to scared to be called racist, while the rest of the world gladly takes pride in their country. Japan for example, have a word for a non-japanese citizen; "Hafu".
Meanwhile in the west, Jamal and his 6 brothers are considered "German" because they were born in Germany, LOL.

So you're arguing on the basis, that nationalism is inherently a good thing. Why? Also, consumerism and nationalism are not exclusive, both can equally be characteristics of a person. And nationialism and consumerism don't exclude, and you won't believe this, multiculturalism.
Justin Collins
It's wealth. Wealth breeds degeneracy, laziness, obesity and hedonism, this is observed in every society since fucking Sumer.
Notice that eastern Europe didn't participate in the massive post-war economic boom, they're still rather poor, and they're still fiercely nationalist and masculine.

People have always put their own family and community before others. Leaders have tried to get together recently and sing Kumbaya, but now people have started getting sick of it, especially when leaders seem to be more interested in affairs and people 2000 miles away than trying to fix things inside the country.

And please do tell me the advantages of being nationalist, masculine but poor and with a poor quality of life, while the actual national leaders are rich as fuck (which they were in eastern Europe)

>Suggesting that Western people should have any sense of unique identity is literally Nazism. Are you crazy? The reason countries even exist is because people have a common identity and culture, that's what seperates one country from another and makes it unique. One country has a democratic identity, another has an Islamic identity. One country bases it's laws on morality, the other on the quran. Don't you think the cultures are going to clash sooner or later if they are in the same country?
If people had no common identity, we would have no countries at all. All countries on earth is based on that.
Now people are losing their sense of nationality, and we are heading towards orwellian consumerist societies because people have lost their culture. The west are currently like before the fall of Rome.
Josiah Gonzalez
Every pole who moves to Western Europe just wants to sock away as many euros as possible before running back home to make a nice house and maybe buy his mother a nice car.
Every pole living in France will scamper off the moment the Algerians start chimping out (for real this time) en masse.
David Nguyen
How about instead of embarking on another WeWuz national mistake, we turn liberalism into something worth being proud of?
Because that's what the west is, socially liberal on a relative scale and dedicated to individualism.
The issue is that modern progressives have divided people due to identity politics, instead of uniting them. They no longer advocate for understanding based empathy and "walk a mile in someone's shoes" mantras. Just kiss ass until ___ privilege is gone. It's flawed and won't work.
OP, people have that same pride in their own ethnic groups, they're just not bought by national borders anymore, just Jerrymandering.

>The reason countries even exist is because people have a common identity and culture You mean like a Bavarian and a guy from Hamburg who have completely different personal identities or culture? Or the French, were a Briton will feel very different from a person from Marseille? Or the Italians where a guy from Tyrol has a completely different cultural background than a Sicilian? So countries have cultural differences within them. Then it must be the language they share. Then I'd argue Switzerland with French, Italian, German and Retroroman speaking people, Germany with German, Sorbic and Danish speaking people in it, Belgium, Finnland with Saami and Finnish etc.
Or do you mean, that those people feel like they are part of a nation and that makes them united, so a common identity? Then we can talk about the proposed split of Belgium, that has been going on since forever, the Silesians who have a secession movement, the northern Italians who also have a secession movement. I mean, those happened since forever, so a common identity works to a certain degree, but then:
Why not Europe? Europe has a common history and identity, when clearly cultural difference happen within countries and language differences exist within countries and they work well. Or the Visegrad states, why don't they from a country, not a union? They have a common identity. Why do you need to be Polish, you can be Visegradian, the possibilities are there. Or BeNeLux. Or the Nordic countries. Or Spain and Portugal?

You have people from poor countries getting wealthier and not becoming degenerate and you have people from poor countries that remain/become degenerate.
Adam Lewis
Excuse you but maybe if you weren't so racist to them they wouldn't spit on you. They are good people who didn't do anything but white people make them behave badly because of racism. Why is it that white people can never accept responsibility for being racist and all the problems that come from them being racist? Why are white people so racist and why haven't we gotten rid of them yet?

I can see people from poor states doing that. You have to keep in mind that different area have different price scales and wages. For people from poor area joining the military with a chance of promotion is a great deal. For others not so much.
The same logic goes to taking a blue collar job making war goods. However it is a bit more favorable because of likely post war outcomes (the stop of importing Chinese goods) and not getting shot at.

>Faust is the protagonist of a classic German legend. He is a scholar who is highly successful yet dissatisfied with his life, which leads him to make a pact with the Devil, exchanging his soul for unlimited knowledge and worldly pleasures. The Faust legend has been the basis for many literary, artistic, cinematic, and musical works that have reinterpreted it through the ages. "Faust" and the adjective "Faustian" imply a situation in which an ambitious person surrenders moral integrity in order to achieve power and success for a delimited term.[1][2] en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Decline_of_the_West en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faust
