Thousands years ago, our ancestors from Africa started to immigrate to other lands. Thousands years after, appeared the first cities, with little groups of people that wanted live on one place without move. At this moment started the feeling of nationalism, the love to the place where they born.
Since this moment, feeling of nationalism has being rising. We can see it on the ancient Greece, where there were independent cities (polis), with the same culture, language, religion, but with a different place on the territory. They fought for their cities againts the others.
We can see it too on the ancient Rome, on the Colonialism, etc. Today we can see that soldiers continue dying for their countries, dying for flags, dying for a piece of cloth.
Nowadays, nationalism is stupid, because our ancestors are all immigrants. An exemple is USA, they are so patriotics, with a strong feeling of nationalist and a great pride of be americans. But how everyone knows, america is a country founded by immigrants.
Frontiers are another stupid consequence of nationalism. Someone from a country, who decides to travel to another country to live there, have a lot of problems.
The land is from everyone, and we are from the earth, not from the invented countries.
I think that this strong nacionalism comes to the part of our brain more old, the cerebellum. This part of brain we comparted with reptils, and give the feeling of possession of the territory. Well, we belive in the progress, but we have the like feeling that the reptils, and we fight till death for our territorie
