    I mean it's as simple as national movements in oppressed countries oppose oppression. Nationalism in oppressive countries supports oppression

      Yeah, there are useful parallels in the difference between white pride movements vs other ethnic pride movements, "straight pride" vs gay/ trans pride, etc.

      Pride/ nationalist movements of dominant groups basically just exist to revel in and reinforce that domination, pride & nationalist groups of marginalized groups tend to focus on keeping people from feeling horrible about themselves for belonging to marginalized groups, and to try to make them less socially and politically marginalized in general.

        American patriots can be "other ethnic groups" and have gay/trans pride at the same time

        National chauvinism can exist in big & small nations
