Autists think that modern nation-state nationalism based on enlightenment ideals and populism is the only thing that can be called nationalism. This is the only type of nationalism there is and nothing else counts.

It's sort of like saying that religion didn't exist before Abrahamic religion, or that war didn't exist before guns.

This is a failure of communication on the part of giving an operative definition for "nationalism". If you want a TLDR just search "Peasants into Frenchmen", and read a summary, to understand what is meant by the pre and post 19th differentiations of nationalism.

>With no personal knowledge of metallurgy, Mao encouraged the establishment of small backyard steel furnaces in every commune and in each urban neighborhood. Mao was shown an example of a backyard furnace in Hefei, Anhui in September 1958 by provincial first secretary Zeng Xisheng.[20] The unit was claimed to be manufacturing high quality steel.[20]

>Huge efforts on the part of peasants and other workers were made to produce steel out of scrap metal. To fuel the furnaces the local environment was denuded of trees and wood taken from the doors and furniture of peasants' houses. Pots, pans, and other metal artifacts were requisitioned to supply the "scrap" for the furnaces so that the wildly optimistic production targets could be met. Many of the male agricultural workers were diverted from the harvest to help the iron production as were the workers at many factories, schools and even hospitals.

>Although the output consisted of low quality lumps of pig iron which was of negligible economic worth, Mao had a deep distrust of intellectuals who could have pointed this out, and placed his faith in the power of the mass mobilization of the peasants.

>Dadaism was directly responsible for the rise of Hitler

>A heterosexual and cissexual man or woman who does not conform to gender stereotypes can be classed as "LGBTQ" or "Queer" under queer theory, even though they're straight/cis, i.e. a guy who isn't into sports is "queer" and so is a woman who doesn't wear makeup

i've heard a similar theory, that he got rejected from art school due to not being in on the dadaism bandwagon, sparking the path of his career as a dissident turned politician turned dictator, meaning dadaism is implicated in nazi germany

During most of the Tokugawa period there was no real internal or external threats to Japan so they stuck with what worked. In the 19th century when the Europeans began to pose a threat to Japan again they did upgrade very quickly, even before Commadore Perry.

Why does everyone shit on psychology? The field seems extremely interesting, you get to interact with a range of people rather than autists and computer screeba, and the job prospects at accreditation (usually postgraduate) level are even better than engineering in some places. Looking on seek I can see multiple jobs a day listed in my state of about 4 million people.

So, why do people act as if studying it is a death sentence?
