The way I view things—and have done for quite some time—unlike self defense, self sacrifice is something that I should expect to have as a part of my life on an ongoing basis. That may seem like an odd thing to say, if you have a different belief set than do I, but it’s where things are in my world. That said, there may be exceptions, or situations where a choice must be made to whom I will give myself in some regard. Hopefully this helps you to better understand my outlook, as well as those of other people with whom I hold a common core of base tenets.

You have the right to look at and even practice nationalism as you choose. For me, it means being a part of a group greater than myself, with aspirations for a better future, first for ourselves, and finally, to those outside our borders. I hope this clarifies the position of what I imagine is a great many people who espouse nationalism.

So you may believe adhering to societally normative standards is some sort of waste of time, but in reality, that’s what makes it easier to live in our little communities. If you honestly think the extra two minutes or less, or other meager benefit you get from most acts of civil disobedience is worth it, I suppose nobody can convince you otherwise. As for me, I’m going to work to make myself as polite and adherent as possible. In doing so, at least I, and people like me will hopefully help to make the difficulty one experiences at times living among others, more tolerable.
