And then there’s also the kind of nationalism which says: I pay very few taxes although I’m very rich, and you pay taxes although you’re working class, and I am driven to work and you take the bus, and we have very little to talk about—and in any case we never meet. But when something very bad happens, I’m going to find a good patriotic argument why you need to protect my interests and why your children, although not mine, need to kill and die.
