Nationalistic Virtue
The most virtuous people, according to the ideology of nationalism, are human beings that have forfeited their lives in battle: “It is sweet and fitting to die for one’s country (Horace).”

The second most virtuous people, according to the ideology of nationalism, are human beings who have been wounded in battle—forfeited a body part.

Nations are hungry gods.
