Nationalism on The Rise in Eastern Europe
Nationalism on The Rise in Eastern Europe
What does it mean to be a nationalist? Put simply, to be a "nationalist" is to be proud under your flag, or proud of your national heritage. For example "i'm proud to be Australian" is the same as saying "I am an Australian nationalist". It is important to understand this, as the term "nationalist" was given a very bad reputation thanks to Hitler, and his National Socialist German Workers Party, or Nazi party for short.
So what does nationalism mean in Eastern Europe? At the moment, it represents an anti European Union and an anti immigration political stance. You may view this as good thing, or bad thing, depending on your political opinions, however it is easy to see why the vast majority of Eastern Europeans stand by these opinions.
So Where Did it Start
Nationalism in Eastern European countries began to show itself when the EU started to abuse these countries with immigration quotas, which nobody wanted to fulfill, especially after seeing what immigration has done to countries such as Germany, Italy and the UK. Things such as massive increases in crimes, especially rape and murder as well as overwhelming government debt problems, caused by the immigrants inability to get off of welfare and government payouts.
What do Nationalists Want
Peace, and the non-eradication of Eastern European Christian culture. This is what many Nationalist activists are striving for. They want traditions and culture of European's to be sustained, something which many pro-immigration EU countries are struggling to do.
Good or Bad
Comment what you think! I am curious on the political ideals of the steem community!

Good stuff, its slow going to get off the ground here. Theres some videos on youtube about how to get better reputation (that 25 number you see attached to you) most people suggest commenting on other peoples posts trying to get them to upvote your posts, people with a high rep like above 50, 60, 70 so you get the most out of it. Theres also memes on Dmania.lol although Im not sure if they actually raise your rep, they should. Posting well thought out articles at 25 is probably not the best way to get attention as a lot of people skip over them.
I upvoted ya, hope you keep up the content.
Thanks for the tips mate. Just messing around at this stage, not too fussed about it. We'll see how it goes in the future though and maybe i'll try to get more attention then...
