About this listen

Nationalism can be a politics of care — about belonging, culture, and democracy — or a politics of control, built on fear and exclusion.

In this video, I explore how nationalism can empower the powerless, but also how it can curdle into prejudice.

I suggest that identifying the two is easy: good nationalism expands empathy, whilst toxic nationalism shrinks it.

So, what do you think? Is nationalism good or bad?
