Well, this thread has gone in a weird direction that I did not expect.

Let's consult the Oxford definition of the word "nationalism":
Quote
You must be logged in to read this quote.

Or, since this is America, Merriam-Webster:
Quote
You must be logged in to read this quote.

Or if we want something more highbrow, written by a political theorist rather than a lexicographer, the entry from the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy:
Quote
You must be logged in to read this quote.

So, yes, I use the term like that.

The idea that "nationalism" refers to a coherent abstract ideology consistent with the idea that its advocates might not think their own nation is better or more worthy of attachment than any other, but just holding that nations should just stick to their own business, not trade with each other, not make war with each other (wtf), is incredibly internet and detached from social and historical reality. It is like the use of "populist" for the non-libertarian "quadrant".
