nationalism

The tactic of telling one group of poor people that they're better than another group of poor people, in order to get them to focus on fighting that group instead of noticing that you're robbing them blind.

"OMG I thought Trump was gonna make America great again for real Americans like me but he just voted to give a big handout to Wall Street, WTF"

"Lol maybe stop falling for every single demagogue who uses nationalism to control people?"

Something that is forced on you by propagandists, telling you that you share a common bond with others who live in the same geographical area you happen to live in just because you speak the same language or were both born there.

rabid practitioner of nationalism: I hear Jack the Ripper was British, does that make you proud to be an Englishman?

In the know: Jack the Ripper was a South East Asian, g string wearing wino who works in a call center catering to UK clients, sorry...
