Albert Einstein quote on Nationalism

[Luma_Lamp_Loyal]

Nationalism is an infantile disease.

It is the measles of mankind.


Bang on the money Bert.

By the way, for those interested in discussion rather than the usual utter pysh - nationalism in a self governing state tends to be very right wing. Nationalism in a country without full nation state status tends to be social and left wing.

The Einstien quote is from 1929 and specifially related his status as a German and a Jew (he was aksed which he cosidered himself to be) where he said it was possible to be both. Im sure he would be delighted to once again, be quoted so out of context.

But I thought you didn't like those who considered themselves British and Scottish?

By that I mean people who identify themselves as British as well as Scottish, your lot have been calling them traitors. Separatists are the traitors to me.

Ok right, so:
1. why on earth would you think I didnt like those who considered themselves British and Scottish? Can you perchance reference any quote at all me that led you into such a stupid thought that I have ever said such a ludicrous thing

2 what the hell would that even have to do with the Einstein quote ?

Ain't those claiming a British sense of identity called Nigel's,traitors and quislings by the Scottish national socialists? Einstein was aware of how nationalistic lies were a cover for a fascist ideology. I'd be wearing a gold star and trying to claim asylum in England if Salmond had won.
