Eh. Not so surprising that a Dominionist wants to defend Israel. But if he wants to leverage US strength for security then some measure of that has to also be used to restrain Israel from inciting Hamas/Palestine with things like illegal settlements

The age is an issue, but the main worries should be the similarities in income inbalance and the continual breaking of mos maiorum.

And that these are the same people with back the blue bumper stickers and blue line flags.

Oh wait i forgot that is only to show they support maintaining the status quo of systemic injustice and murder being carried out against minorities by people with qualified immunity.

Totalitarian communist regimes have often sought to deify their leader, but this is a tendency more of totalitarianism not explicitly communism. We had ancient rulers in places like Rome and Egypt claim they were gods. We had a whole era of the divine right of kings.

Nationalism is hardly a natural thing since the very idea of a nation-state has only been a thing for a couple hundred years, and arguably isnt a thing in some places (Afghanistan being a notable example). It might be accurate to say Tribalism is a natural psychological phenomenon, and that Nationalism is an extension of that.

If we ever did find advanced aliens like the Federation in Star Trek or Council in Mass Effect we would probably see that extend further into Planetism or Earth First movements.
