You first phammy
Just protecting your borders and enforcing immigration laws now counts as nationalism, so yeah you can pick two.
Human beings are Holons, or that which is simultaneously part and whole. For the individual to thrive, the collective must thrive as well.
The nation is made up of individuals. Therefore, you can pick both. It just means you don't value individuals who aren't part of the nation.
Enforcing national borders is inherently collectivist.
It's called a synecdoche, loser.
Is it collectivist to wish for a nation that provides me with most individual freedom?
Open borders world is the one where my safety and financial security would be constantly at risk
Nationalism serves my own interests for the time being, hence I allow it to exist. I commit to nationalism out of egoism and not some higher ideal. If it should go against my interests, I shall rid myself of it.
Me > my family and friends > my countrymen > everyone else
