Jan 27, 2019 at 9:15 comment added JJJ Mod @AlexanderO'Mara also note that far right or other left-right terms may have different meanings in different areas. What is considered normal in most of Europe and many other countries (e.g. health care, no guns without background checks) may be left of centre in the US. Seeing how many users here are from the US, they may be offended when considered through a European lens while their ideas may be right of centre (but not far-right) in the US.

Jan 25, 2019 at 21:05 comment added LаngLаngС @SamIam Is that not an accurate description of why they cannot get along? Two hate-groups clashing, ready for war, because of their irrational claims, if they only had the means to it? The whole European Union was founded on the insight that nationalism leads to war and is a quite stupid idea in a landscape like Europe's at least.

Jan 25, 2019 at 20:05 comment added Batman FYI: This seems to be a recurring problem with this user. They would also have you believe that "far right" is now just an insult (probably in an effort to shift the way far right views are presented to make them appear more mainstream). Instead of flagging this content, they seem to be editing it instead, probably because they know the flag would be declined.
Jan 25, 2019 at 18:11 comment added user11249 Note it didn't say "Nationalism is terrible", or anything like @Magisch, but rather "this is a problem with nationalism in general". That's directly related to the question, and not unfair or unreasonable. You need to be exceedingly thin-skinned if you think this is offensive. The CoC says "be kind and respectful", but this goes both ways, and editing out stuff like this before even discussing it is neither kind nor respectful.
Jan 25, 2019 at 18:04 comment added user11249 What a strange edit, made even more strange considering it's made by a user who frequently goes out of his way to shoehorn snark directed at Democrats, Liberals, Socialism, etc. in various places. I think that should tell you enough about the type of person we're dealing with.

Jan 25, 2019 at 16:19 comment added user5155 @LangLangC No matter what political opinion you want to talk about you can always find detractors. I agree the current implementation of "Nationalism" has plenty of issues, but I don't think you can say that there isn't an underlying rationality to it.

Jan 25, 2019 at 13:46 comment added LаngLаngС @Magisch Seeing that it is not just me characterising 'nationalism' in this way, a less vague and more ius positum approach for this problem might be a better way. Seems to me that 'nationalism' (not even 'nationalists'!) cannot be offended? What happens if sexists and racists and antisemites feel offended? If the outcome of this is that eg Popper's position and analysis should be censored here…
Jan 25, 2019 at 12:08 comment added Magisch What I mean by that is, your characterization of nationalism here is probably likely to severely offend nationalists, and/or people adhering to a religion that has inherent nationalistic tendencies. Should your content be removed and you be sanctioned for that? You'd probably say no, so we need to address this whole thing less absolutely and with more common sense.
Jan 25, 2019 at 12:06 comment added Magisch We don’t tolerate any language likely to offend or alienate people based on race, gender, sexual orientation, or religion — and those are just a few examples. When in doubt, just don’t. Broadly construed is unenforceable. I know that the existance of some religious groups invariably offends others and vice versa. The same is true for almost any other divisive opinion.
