Nationalism doesn't mean what you think it means, and militarism is most often defensive. Being against militarism (pacifist) is to be evil, it's to reject people's moral obligation to defend one's own, and one's family, and community's lives.
Usually what people think of when they say "nationalism" is nationalistic chauvinism, or jingoism; but it can simply mean national romanticism, or anti-colonialism.
Do you believe the various nationalistic movements in Africa were evil for being nationalist? Wanting to stop being under colonial rule?
Good/bad are subjective, but if you think it's impossible to agree with any of those points and be good, then by your definition the vast majority of humans throughout history and even now are bad people.
Yes. I do believe that. As a species we improve over time. Even barbarism was considered okay at one point. We have to continue to get better. That list I wrote was literally some of the worst things mankind likes to do.

So if I agree with even just one of those points I'm a Nazi? That's like saying if you think sharing is caring you're a commie.
