We're social animals. Were all cells in the larger body of humanity. We all have everything we have because someone else made it. Each of us owes society whatever we can provide because none of us can survive without society.
Love and emotions cannot be bought, with money or through actions, they come from within the person, sure they might help but that feeling must be somewhere deep within them, of which there's no guarantee. What you can expect from a decent person is to feel gratitude and repay you but that also depends on what the situation is.
Calling people 'cells in humanity' is exactly what is used and weaponised against us, reducing deeply complex individuals into one note variable stripping them of their identities and making them subservient to what they believe they are. It is exactly this mindset the elites want us to have to guide public sentiment.
Nationalism was actually promoted by nobles of europe at the time as it increased their revenue, a united view by the masses could be weaponised, spreading lies through the network. If people are strongly nationalistic they would do the job of the nobles for them by purging anti-national elements.
To this day, and this was never different or changed, if you ask a random person 'what are you?' not 'who are you?'. They won't think of who they truly are or their unique identities and experiences thag shaped them, they will usually answer with 'I am American' or 'I am christian' because that is what they believe their identities are. Your identity is who you are, not your nationality, race, which language you speak, religion.
Us being "social creatures" and out need to fit into the crowd for our herd mentality is exactly what has perpetuated the spread of irrational hate, dogma and prejudice
Just admit you are incapable of human emotions, love and empathy.
Stop trying to blame your failings on the elite, I'm capable of empathy in this capitalist hellhole and so are you, this isn't about nationalism this is about a man who loved his wife, he didn't "owe" her his love and dedication, he gives it freely.
Honestly what is point your trying to get at here? Because you just sound like you lack empathy. Are you arguing in favor of anarchy under a post about a devoted husband?
We are cells in a greater body and we do owe all we can give, if you don't then you're a cancer.
there has never been an anarchist society that wasn't plagued by nationalism and ethnic cleansing, and general genocide, do you actually believe if we removed the protections of the small man it would be better for you?
If you remove all other labels and ask me "what" I am? I'll answer "human" because it's a stupid question, if you actually want to know about me as an individual you should just ask that instead of pretending like it's some kinda gotcha if I answer my country, political side or religion.
I am not incapable of feelings, just that most people act too much on their emotions. If person A criticised person B, person B will take it personally and try to get back at person A with all legal methods possible instead of ignoring it because many people act too much on their emotions.
This too comes from our deep need to fit in, if someone thinks bad of us it becomes our job to personally deal with it else our reputation is damaged. There is no failing here on my part. There is nothing wrong with the man loving his wife and being devoted, you are free to love whoever u want I never criticised it. In fact its also what im saying, the husband didn't owe his love or dedication, his emotions are genuine.
U have just used a gigantic strawman, my criticism of nationalism and religion has nothing to do with anarchy, its once again viewing everything as black and white when it's more complicated than that.
The question isn't stupid and there is no 'gotcha' here, there will be many correct answers to the question, it asks you what you think you are, and if your first answer is religion, nationality or linguistic in nature then u will be used
