Nationalism could be considered as a great love for ones own people. Or it could be seen as utter hatred towards any other people.

Racism is the same. It could be a preference for one's own race over other races, or it could be seen as a total antipathy towards other races.

Don't let your enemies define these terms for you. Let your nationalism and racism be based on love of your own kind. Love is a greater motivating factor than hate.

We don't need to hate our enemies, we only need to defeat them and secure our freedoms for us and our posterity.

Precisely.

If you love your people, you will not allow foreign invaders to infiltrate your society.

In logic, there is something called "modus ponens". It is simply the fact that "if P then Q; P; therefore Q".

The problem people are running into here is that they are using the logical fallacy of "affirming the consequent." It says "if P then Q; Q; therefore P."

Specifically, "we love our race" is P. "we must kill our enemies" is Q. "If P then Q" is "If we love our race, then we must kill our enemies." If it is true, then, that we love our race, then it is also true that we must kill our enemies.

However, if you start with "we must kill our enemies" then "we love our race" does not follow. It is quite possible to hate your own race and to feel compelled to kill all your enemies.

My point wasn't that we must not kill our enemies. My point was simply that you START with "we must love our race" first, THEN everything else will naturally follow.

in addition to this, "we must love our race" is a message that everyone can get behind. "We must kill our enemies" alienates those who would otherwise do so if you instead started with a love of race.

This is simple logic, beyond the scope of some of the people here. It's pointless to argue with them.
