    Except unlike racism, which is nonsense, countries do in fact have a persistent cultural zeitgeist

      So when the US elected Trump, they were “a broken people culturally inured to welcoming and even demanding tyrants”?

        No, rather the US is very prone to demagoguery by nationalists.

          Dressing up the word doesn’t change anything. Nationalism runs rampant in the US. You can see it in all the flag-waving, the chants of “U-S-A, U-S-A, Number 1, Number 1!”, American exceptionalism, and constant claims of being the greatest country on Earth.

            It’s not dressing up a word, it’s just using the right word.
