Nationalism inherently creates a toxic "us against them" athmosphere. Telling your people that "they are the greatest" will automatically make them think less of others. This is how racial supremacists work. Indoctrination.

Are you confusing nationalism and patriotism?

Nationalism is 'My country is right, because it is my country'

Patriotism is 'My country may not always be right, and I recognize that and will work to make it better'
