What are some good examples of proto-nationalism?

You could replace that with regionalisms.

regionalism is just a politically correct name for ethnonationalism.

The Crip Nation began in America in 1969.

It is a tribe with 800 subclans and over 50,000 active warriors. When one factors members unknown to law enforcement, family members and neighborhood associates into the tribe you achieve a population nearing likely 100,000 or more.

They have their own customs, language in the form of swahili, laws and even a constitution.

There were many examples of proto-narionalism in Europe, specially Greece, they even defined the term of nation there. But across Europe you had the Gauls in France, you had the Lusitanians in Portugal, etc.

before people could even comprehend what a nation or state was?

Id say it would just be protecting your family at the most basic level and then your community next. Whatever people though of as their own kind

Liberals have created this myth that nationalism was "invented" in the 1800s. Bullshit. Nationalism is just another word for tribalism.

You're harming your own case by assuming the retarded notion that nationalism is synonymous with chauvinism and racism like said.

In truth, nationalism is based on the idea of national sovereignty and self-government: the idea that the nation is what creates the country and rules it, rather than king, god, priests or whatever. It literally didn't exist in that form before 18th/19th centuries.

Compare the Vendee rising with revolutionary France. While the Vendeans were conservative and decidedly tribalist, their rallying cry "God and King, not Nation"

Not at all, nobody thought of themselves as belonging to nations until the 18th century. It's mostly a post-French Revolution innovation.

Tribalism and nationalism are mutually exclusive.

Wrong. Tribalism is fraternity with people you know, friends of friends, etc cetera.

Nationalism is when a Breton speaker from Nantes feels fraternity with a Parisian and a German-speaker from Alsace-Lorraine.

7 hours, tsk tsk tsk, running a little late aren't we? Dear Leader is going to be displeased.

The Age of Enlightenment also had a major role in the creation of nationalism and racism, which is often ignored by both, today's liberals and conservatives

>living in a tribe with members who you all know
>is the same as living in a nation of dozens of millions of people who you are united with by ties of institutions, political structures, and national imagining
It may be similar to tribalism, but it definitely isn't the same thing, its like saying that living in a family is the same thing as a city.

This, nationalism is a lion and a tiger not seeing themselves as the same.

>nobody thought of themselves as belonging to nations until the 18th century
Where is your proof?

A city is a group of families, nationalism = family = race

Proof:

Nationalism means race, nation means ethnos from Greek, there is no other definition, states are states and have always been.

>and racism
Read what ibn battuta had to say about Blacks and get back to me.

Human kind has always had "racist" feelings and there is nothing wrong with this.

>nation means ethnos from Greek

I meant racism as we know it today

There is no doubt that people are born racist to a certain degree

>I meant racism as we know it today
The apparent aggression shown by these people is quite understandable. For they are members of one of Earth's last uncontacted tribes, who live in the Envira region in the thick rainforest along the Brazilian-Peruvian frontier.

Thought never to have had any contact with the outside world, everything about these people is, and hopefully will remain, a mystery.

Meirelles, who despite once being shot in the shoulder by an arrow fired by another tribe campaigns to protect these peoples, believes this group's numbers are increasing, and pointed out how strong and healthy the people seemed.

But other uncontacted groups in the region, whose homes have been photographed from the air, are in severe danger from illegal logging in Peru and populations are being decimated.

If nationalism means race, why has every race been at war with itself since the beginning of history?

>why has every race been at war with itself since the beginning of history?
Same reason there is family conflict or suicides.

animals of the same race fight each other but that's a mechanism of the race to keep you sharp and progressing, just like my dogs who play fight to train them for actual fighting, the race is an organism who trains the race for conflicts with other races should they occur.

>everything's been the same since the dawn of humanity
sweet jesus, pooh, that's not honey! you're eating ideology

I'm eating truth are you saying biology has no natural truths of behaviors?

sweet jesus, pooh, that's not truth! you're eating biological determinism

What is there is not biological determinism?
Is there anything other than biology?
Every thought you make is done through biology.

>nation
>race

Nation means race, there is no other definition of a true community and commonality than biology, nation is family, family is race.
