    Default Nationalism

    Well, its something every country has.

    What is your country, and what tends to be the most common nationalistic "War Cry" ?

    There are two mottoes, or "warcries" for Croats.

    U boj, u boj, za narod svoj - This you'll hear during the football matches all the time. To battle for your people. Originates from 19. century opera, still performed.

    Za Dom Spremni - For Home(land) Ready. Used by nazi Ustashe regime in WW2 as a salute similar to sieg heil, but as anything linked with nazis, it has far older usage. It's banned today, and of course, used by extreme nationalists now.

    We aren't allowed to be nationalistic in Sweden. It's considered racist.

    Must live in a different version of Sweden then I do.
    The 90s Nationalism scare is pretty much over these days and people are aware of the difference.
    Of course there is always the bad egg here and there but overall people have come around.

    Now my post was quite "extreme", but I believe it shows an image how it is nowadays. I've seen it many times. People do not want to be considered nationalistic, because some groups in the society, believe it or not, consider it racist.

    Well I consider myself nationalistic and do so open and only got bad remarks during well the 90s.
    The 90s were just insane.
    You couldn't wear a thor's hammer without being labeled a nazi or racist.
    In some extreme case like what happened to me, I couldn't even listen to heavy metal without me getting this label. And I'm talking about like listening to Metallica and stuff.
    Anyway, go Skĺne

    Is it really illegal?

    I suppose these are 60 000 Croatian extremists?

    The common culture of a tribe is a sign of its inner cohesion. But tribes are vanishing from the modern world, as are all forms of traditional society. Customs, practices, festivals, rituals and beliefs have acquired a flut and half-hearted quality which reflects our nomadic and rootless existence, predicated as we are on the global air-waves.

    I think its a Thompson concert. They're shouting Za dom - spremni, a 19th century nationalist salute. It is errenous to equate it with the Hitlergruß.

    I think it's illegal by law now, but not much use of law when nationalist party is in charge. That law is mostly ignored in practice.

    Not extremists, but extreme nationalists (from my point of view). Extremist sounds like terrorist. Thompson concerts seem rather... well extreme to foreigners, but I know a lot of common, open minded people, that attend them simply because other patriotic music is either stupid, or really sickly extreme. But half of people on that concert were at the reunions of old Yugoslav bands. Not very nationalistic then, are they. the other half also listen to Serbian turbo folk music, though they'll say they hate Serbs any time, but that's another topic now. Things are mostly ironic when speaking about Balkans.

    Our National Anthem...best in the world:

    Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
    What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
    Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
    O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming.
    And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
    Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
    Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
    O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

    On the shore dimly seen, through the mists of the deep,
    Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
    What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
    As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
    Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
    In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
    'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
    O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

    And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
    That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
    A home and a country should leave us no more!
    Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
    No refuge could save the hireling and slave
    From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
    And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
    O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

    Oh thus be it ever, when free men shall stand
    Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
    Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
    Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
    Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
    And this be our motto: 'In God is our trust.'
    And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
    O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
    Official motto: E Pluribus Unum--Out of many, one

    Unofficial mottoes/rallying cries/etc...God Bless America, United We Stand

    independence I guess, cuz the shaping of modern Chinese nationalism was basically the process of Chinese trying to escape from the domination of Western and Japanese forces.
