Nationalism,
according to the Oxford Dictionary

identification with one's own nation and support for its interests, especially to the 
exclusion or detriment of the interests of other nations.

I mean, who wouldn't want this? It shouldn't be that extreme, but loving one's own country and trying to protect its interests should be the main goal of one's country. As a person who has been in military residence (being a son of a soldier) and someone who trained in military training, I do love my country. I have lived my entire life living with Ethiopian elite soldiers who are always ready to give their lives for their country. Some of them did.I believe it's the ultimate love of one's own country.

But is that what nationalism in action is???

I doubt it. Because most nationalists advocate that a nation is a country that is based on race, history, and culture that people share. It seems that most countries aren't based on that. Not all of us are the same race, not all of us share the same history, and apparently not all of us share the same culture. Countries unified based on their war-winning or land control; that's all.
Another conspiracy about nationalism is that most of it is advocated by the people who play politics. Most of them are not from the country they had glorified:
 
Napoleon Bonaparte—A #Corsican who ruled #France.

- Adolf Hitler—An #Austrian who became #Germany’s dictator.

- Joseph Stalin—A #Georgian who led the Soviet Union.

- Benito Mussolini—An Italian #nationalist who initially opposed Italy’s #involvement in World War I.

These leaders used nationalism to advocate #war, #expansion, and oppression. Nazi Germany (we talk about this in depth) and Japanese #imperialists are the best examples.

Nationalism has the power to #manipulate #people. It has a propaganda that can distract people from internal #economic problems and #corruptions. So the above leaders used this as a #ladder to the throne.

Later on we will discuss the rise of #Hitler and #nationalism. From statistics, because of nationalism, we have lost more than #100 #million people. Especially in the #Second World War. Nationalism has more #negative effects rather than #positive. I'm not saying the theory is #bad. But the implementation process costs humanity a lot.
What do you think??? 🤔🤔🤔

Hitler's Hero

We could say this man is responsible for Nazi Germany nationalism, which Adolf #Hitler used to embrace his works. This man is the writer of why the #Aryan race is the race that is above other races, #Antisemitism, and why Jews are the underhumans, also. He believed and wrote in his book that:
  

A leader of a country shouldn't be question by culture or society norms. The leader should be above the law.

And at this time, Hitler was a poor 23/24 years old young man at Vienna, struggling to get his daily meal. Most of the Jews he saw appeared to be rich and have most power in the world.

This man's name is
#Houston Stewart #Chamberlain

⭕️ Lesson
Be careful what you feed to yourself in your teenage and 20s. And also be careful what u write and say about what ever it is.

The Path of Adolf Hitler

    Here is the path of young #Adolf #Hitler. He was born from this poor family. His mother is his father's third wife. His family is very poor; his father only fights to provide their daily meal. Technically in Europe at that time, it's difficult to find a rich European family. Most of the industries, banks, and powers are controlled by #Jews. (Don't get biased; I'm not talking about #antisemitism. Am just telling you History.
   Fun fact: some partof my family are from Felasha Jews, which means I'm partly Jew. We can't deny that.)
    Anyway his father often #drunk and beat him. It's not only in Ethiopia that people drink to forget how #broke they are. He was not good in school. No matter how he tried. There was a bully in his school, which I guess convinced him not to be a good boy. Historians said that he only showed good behavior when he was in #Catholic school(benedictine monastery). But because he borrowed money from his friend, and his friend humiliated him in front of everybody in school, he got back to being bad. Shortly after his father used to bully him for liking #art. In this time, Hitler started to speak like an adult. He quit #school. Shortly after that, his father died, which made it difficult for him and his mom. He very often went to #hookers at the time he was sixteen. He doesn't want to work, so he relies on his mom.

  Long story short, after he failed to get into art school. His mom passed. Now he's #twenty. Got no one left on this earth. After he decided to move to #Vienna, he started to work labor there for his meal. But it was different and difficult for him: When he remembers the time, he said:

"Hunger was my only friend. He never left me alone."

    Time to time he changed jobs cause he don't like to be a #solider. More than that he hates #Jews. Cause he read alot of antisemitism books especially the one I mentioned #yeasterday and why aryan people are superior race.

   When his friends remembered Adolf back then:
"

He is very scrawny and  you could see his heart bones. There is no flesh in him. And also he often blames Jewish women (hookers) for the STDs he had.

   Yes, they said STD (sexually transmitted disease). One of the fun facts I read was when he was building his mindset in his twenties, he was also #spiritual. #Weird, right? Anyway, he started to speak publicly about #Jews. He expressed his hate toward them openly. Then he moved from Vienna to join the army. Cause he got no choice. The army was unexpectedly heaven for him.

To be continued...

One thing I can't do is Stop questioning!! I think that the way my mind is wired.

Extreme nationalism

   When I read about Adolf Hitler, all I hear is toughness, extreme nationalism, and patriotism. (You might argue that this word doesn’t fully describe him, but trust me, he was patriotic.) After he joined the army, World War I began, and he became one of the German soldiers who fought for their country. Many historians agree that he was one of Germany’s #best #soldiers(se argue he is not). He fought bravely, and the German leaders awarded him numerous medals, as did the military. He dedicated his life to his country during the war.
During one battle against Great Britain, he was injured and sent to the hospital. One day, a priest visited the injured soldiers and informed them that, sadly, Germany had lost the war and surrendered. Upon hearing this, all the wounded soldiers started crying, asking, "Germany, have you lost the people who fought for you? Didn’t you have anyone who cared about you?" But among them, Hitler reacted differently—he became furious, punching his bed while crying out loud. He told the soldiers, "

Crying is for babies and women. This judgment is upon us. But one person must take responsibility, and the higher power knows who it is. Defeat is dangerous and powerful."

    
      From that moment on, Hitler was determined to find a way to save Germany from its humiliation. He decided to educate himself in politics, but the challenge was that he had no money or power. He was only a 10’s Commander. After World War I, Germany was forced to sign the Treaty of Versailles, accepting war guilt, paying reparations, losing land, and disarming. Most Germans accepted it, but Adolf did not. He began gathering soldiers and educating them.

       In the military, he was assigned to spy on the rising Workers' Party at that time. However, before long, he became the leader of this party. Because of Hitler, this party developed its own army—the Nazi soldiers. He renamed the Workers' Party to the National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazi for short). Using his artistic skills, he designed the party’s logo, later known as the Swastika (S.S.). The Swastika’s center is a cross, which Hitler used because he understood the vulnerable emotions of the German people. At this point, he had essentially become a politician.

His growing influence gave him a strong position among the German people. He then attempted to overthrow Germany’s government using the Nazi Party’s soldiers, but he failed and was #imprisoned for #five #years. During his time in prison, he wrote a book called #Mein #Kampf, which translates to #My #Struggle. He prepared for everything and eventually rose to power in #Germany. His playbook was the very book he had written.
This is how Hitler rose to power. His intention was not to gain power, wealth, or personal gain, but rather to save Germany from its humiliation and make it the world's most powerful country. This desire exists in all patriotic people. His actions against the Jews—well, I could say they were both personal and political. I’m not saying what he did was right; all I’m saying is that #extreme #nationalism led him to this path. This path Cost humanity alot. We could mention #Holocaust and millions of people who died because of #world #war #two.

The destructiveness of his actions were brutal. But so does modern day powerful countries like #Great #Britain , #France and others. From the time of colonialism to this day their doing something similar what Hitler does especially to #Africa. Their action can't be #justifiable too.

               Later on we will see the consequences of extreme nationalism.

The Addis Ababa Massacre: Remembering Yekatit 12, 1937

On February #19, 1937 (Yekatit 12 in the Ethiopian calendar), Addis Ababa witnessed one of the most horrific massacres in its history. This tragedy, ordered by the Italian Viceroy #Rodolfo #Graziani, left thousands of Ethiopians dead and entire neighborhoods in ruins.

The Assassination Attempt
The massacre was triggered by an act of resistance. On that day, two young Ethiopian patriots, #Abraham #Deboch and #Moges #Asgedom, attempted to assassinate Graziani while he was in the Genete Leul Palace (now part of Addis Ababa University). They threw hand grenades at him, seriously wounding him but failing to kill him.

In response, the Italian occupation forces unleashed a wave of brutal retaliation against the people of Addis Ababa.

Three Days of Terror
For three days, #Italian troops and fascist militias went on a rampage of murder, arson, and destruction. Ethiopian civilians—men, women, and children—were slaughtered in the streets, homes were burned, and anyone suspected of opposing Italian rule was executed.
Historical estimates suggest that between #19,000 and #30,000 people were killed—nearly a quarter of the city's population at the time. The violence extended beyond the city, with monks and priests at #Debre #Libanos #Monastery later being executed under Graziani’s orders.

Aftermath and Legacy

Despite his war crimes, Graziani never faced justice. However, Ethiopia remembers. The massacre of Yekatit 12 remains one of the darkest chapters of the Fascist occupation, a reminder of the brutality suffered under colonial rule.
Today, Ethiopians commemorate the event with a memorial at Sidist Kilo, honoring those who perished. Their sacrifice is a testament to Ethiopia’s resilience and unbreakable spirit in the fight for freedom.
Let us #remember their courage. Let us honor their #sacrifice.

Hitlers speech in English😮😮😮
I didn't expect to hear this from Him😱😱

#Unbroken is one of my all-time favorite films. It powerfully portrays #courage, #resilience, and the #unwavering #spirit of a #true #soldier. The story of #Louis #Zamperini highlights the difference between #patriotism and #nationalism in a deeply moving way. Louie exemplifies true #patriotism and #true #Chrstianity—standing firm in his values, enduring immense hardship, and never losing his faith on GOD.In contrast, Mutsuhiro Watanabe, known as "#The #Bird," represents #nationalism driven by #cruelty and #power. This film is not just about survival; it's about the #strength of the human spirit and the #unbreakable will to persevere.
I strongly recommend #u to watch it.

[I #believe in your #sorrow!]

In #Dostoevsky’s #masterpiece, The Brothers Karamazov, after Liz’s mother tells the #monk about her sorrow and her loss of faith, she finally asks, “What #do you #think of me?” and he says, “It doesn’t matter what I think of you: #forget it, the important thing is that I #believe your #sorrow is real!”

Sometimes all we can say is, “I #believe your #pain is real: I believe your #suffering is real: I believe your sorrow is #deep!”

#Accept what I #believe more than I think!
