What you meant is one thing, but how people may interpret "they tend to mutate into the same thing" is a different thing.

And you see attempts to do the same thing in Germany, but you know that :)

Erdogan did the same thing in Turkey 10 years ago

And to a certain degree, so is India. Only there the narrative is a typical developing country one of this being the only way to emancipate it from global third parties' interest.

US "patriots" voting right against their own social and economic interests is probably the most notable global example of this.

And that people who identify as such should be aware of this fact and how easy their self-identification can be instrumented against them.

That's not what I said though. I said that motivating patriotism in a people is a fascist move. And that is just a fact.
