Maybe so, but that doesn't mean all nationalists behave like that. Your tendency to generalise this pathetic behavior as typical nationalist behavior is no better than racists linking certain types of crime with certain ethnicities. In fact, there is probably more justification for the latter than for your generalisation. Of all the nationalists I've met (and I met quite a few), I can't think of a single one who fits your description.... except for skinheads, from whom I clearly take distance.
I see. Because I've seen this behaviour first-hand but you have not, I'm the one generalising? Cool.
You're the one generalising, because you consider the behavior of one particular group of nationalists as examplary for nationalists in general.

There's nationalists and then there's ultra nationalists. The KKK and Serb's and albanian's, croat's, russian's, islamic fundamentalists, christian fundamentalists, Jewish Ultra orthodox, etc, etc, etc, etc. Are just wearisome examples of how this type of thought goes across the board to all levels of society.[/quote]
Most nationalists that I know are actually ultra-nationalists. Hell, I even met David Duke when he last visited my country.
