when one takes their sense of national pride to extreme levels as to become an unintentionally comical stereotype of what patriotism embodies and deliberately hating those that don't share the same intensity that they have, particularly those from other countries, other races and other religions...they are identified by their over-the-top demonstrations and admirations for national symbols, like hundreds of small American flags on their front yard, attaching gigantic American flags to the back of their pick-up trucks, etc...and their ability to turn any common, everyday conversation no matter how mundane into an instant political debate...the temper on people exhibiting this characteristic is incredibly short and are best avoided whenever possibly, particularly during summer months where heat adds on to their already enflamed attitude and news stories about Black Lives Matter or removal of confederate statues kicks it up several notches...
the family's hopes of having a peaceful family dinner were quickly crushed as father's hyper-neo-nationalism was triggered and he masterfully managed to turn a point over the color of one of the children's shirts into a full-on tirade about the corruption of the mainstream media and why black protestors should be locked up for the rest of their lives.

Get the hyper-neo-nationalism mug.A White nationalist is a person who advocates for the empowerment, liberation, and unity of White people. They believe that White people should have control over their own communities and resources, and that the struggles and achievements of White people should be celebrated and uplifted.
White nationalists often prioritize the needs and interests of White people over those of other groups, but this is not necessarily done in a way that seeks to harm or oppress other communities. Instead, it is seen as a necessary step towards achieving true equality and justice for White people, who have historically faced discrimination and oppression (such as anti-White politics in the United States or the Barbary slave trade).
White nationalists may also work towards building coalitions and alliances with other marginalized groups in order to create a more just and equitable society for all.

Stephen: Isn't that racist?
Jeff: How is loving and uplifting your own ethnic grouping racist?
Stephen: Oh, sounds based. I also want to be part of this movement that is based on love.

Get the White Nationalist mug.Cognitive rationality is matching one's beliefs with reality. Instrumental rationality is choosing effective means to achieve one's goals. Achieving one's goals in the real world necessarily demands that one's beliefs be consistent with the independent reality that stands over against us. Teleological rationality is choosing the right goals as established by the objective moral order ordained by God.
Logic can be rational in some cases and not others. Science can be rational in some cases and not others. The same with emotions, intuitions, art, and religious faith. Let's consider logic in this regard. Logic can clearly spell out the assumptions and the argument structure that lead people to the conclusions they are propounding. The clarity of these arguments can verify the truth of the claim one is making so that one has a clear and distinct idea of it. If there is an error in the reasoning, then the clarity of articulating the argument allows one to identify and correct the mistake. On the other hand, there are cases where the knowledge that is necessary to draw a conclusion is implicit, so that the premisses cannot be clearly spelled out. For example, as Michael Polanyi has observed, it is impossible to fully describe how to ride a bicycle. Much of what distinguishes expert from advanced novice levels of knowledge of a skill is unarticulable knowledge. In these cases, habit and intuition get at the truth more effectively than more explicit approaches to understanding. The reductionist approach in science runs into similar shortcomings. For example, if a scientifically knowledgeable young man tries to woo a young lady he is in love with by explaining very clearly how she affects his hormones and neurotransmitters, he is likely to be unsuccessful as well as failing to accurately describe the experience of falling in love.
It is not always rational to gain every extra bit of information before making a decision. Economists recognize this principle and term it "rational ignorance." The time and energy of gaining additional information past a certain point may not be rewarded with greater effectiveness in making the decision. In most cases, it is more effective to specialize in a few areas and then trust others to gain the necessary information to meet a range of needs that one is not meeting oneself. For example, it is more efficient to specialize in whatever one is interested in and talented in and then trade with others for what one needs. This principle is called "comparative advantage." The same principle is at work in faith in God. We have faith in our mechanic or doctor who is more able than we are, so it is with God. Faith is only as good as the object of one's faith. Faith is not some mysterious power radiating out from the person, but rather simply trusting someone who is more able for a particular task.
Artistic expression can be rational since it possesses a systematic structure that can be delineated formally. More importantly, artistic expression can touch the viewers or hearers in a more immediate, intuitive way that more effectively communicates the intended message than more analytic expressions of the same truths.
Emotions themselves can be rational since we can judge people's emotional reactions as appropriate or inappropriate, e.g. if someone cries uncontrollably upon tasting a carrot, then we can immediately see that something is amiss in the person's emotional life. As Aristotle observed, the key to a balanced life is to feel the appropriate emotion, to the appropriate degree, and directed toward the appropriate person or object. Emotions motivate people to act, identify what is salient in their surroundings, and coordinates human actions. The last point is made by philosopher Allan Gibbard who argues that if each person acts on the apt emotion as they interact with one another, conflicts will be minimized. For example, if one person acts so that he violates another's rights, the victim will feel and express anger. As the aggressor senses the victim's anger, he will be motivated to remedy the wrong, otherwise there will be more severe actions taken by the victim to redress the wrong. The guilt and shame that the aggressor feels will restore harmony to the relationship.
Choosing the appropriate goals in life will make the person's life more fruitful and more satisfying. Choosing goals that are inconsistent with the objective moral order of the universe will lead to frustration and personal injury. Again, rationality is a matter of harmony between the individual, his social and natural environment, and God.

Listen to the voice of reason...it might be calling to you where you least expect it...Rationality is simply listening to reality.

Get the Rationality Rules mug.Governement control of healthcare which will be sold as making healthcare more affordable but will result in financially driven long waits, tests not being given, missed diagnoses, and ultimately deaths that would have been prevented if the system was not in place
Nationalized healthcare is the worst idea in the history of the US.
Nationalized healthcare is only good if you have the money to opt out of it.
If you think healthcare is expensive now, wait till you see how much it costs when it's free!

Get the Nationalized Healthcare mug.A pathetic excuse for a human being who probably still lives in the trailer with his parents who had the same last name before they were married. The White Nationalist believes that all other races are inferior and therefore unworthy of living around him, and he also includes people who bath as "other races." In general, the white nationalist hates anyone who is different from him: black people, Jewish people, gay people, Latino people, and, especially, SMART PEOPLE.
In the world of the white nationalist, the same America that has elected a black president twice and will not let him walk down the street in a "white power" t-shirt unmolested will allow for a white revolution. They idealize serial killers like Timothy McVeigh and dream of the day when the capitol of the United States will be moved from DC to their hometown of West Bumblefucker, Mississippi.
Despite the claims of some, the White Nationalist is a harmless animal. He is usually a ninety pound pimple faced child who spends his time on Stormfront message boards while eating Chinese food (non-white) before watching some Anime (also non-white)
White nationalist are known for being virgins with little education and beer guts while at the same time insisting they are the Master Race.

Get the White Nationalist mug.A simple and only possible resorting for blacks to stay unified and achieve a greater pride when they feel violated or pretty much "the white man has fucked me over again." In addition, a good strategy to discard equality with a hidden agenda similar to white supremacy gains - the only difference is whites got caught. In other words, it is ok for a black to say, “I am proud” and children to be taught to choose a black brother over a white.
