There is a war waged on the concept of nationalism, similar to the war that rendered monarchist sentiments obsolete...nobody is a true royalist anymore (as in ready to rally militarily under a monarch) and this is the putsch that is directed at the concept of nationalism. How this putsch pans out depends on the mettle and strength of 'abstract' identity and sense of belonging.
When "Frenchness" and "Britishness" are rendered obsolete, and the focal lens is transformed from citize$nship or nation to the individual (special snowflake, i even dont confirm to a gender etc), what will be the compass for the masses? A bunch of mixed race, cosmopolitan bastards who dont know who their daddy, because paternity will be rendered irrelevant. What will be your moral compass then? Aristotle or the Roman stoics? or the YOLO life? or will you focus on getting your grind and making $$$ which is the pinnacle of American branch of western civilization (Trump, Kardashians, bling bling etc) lol...
