Do you love your family? Why?

Do you love your friends? Why?

I'll take a well-founded guess: you love them because you share values and experiences with them. In other words, you share a history: a heritage. This shared heritage creates bonds between you, and those who share your heritage.

How would you react if you knew there were a group of people-- foreign bankers, "multi-nationalist" politicians trying to obtain power, "intellectuals" from half way around the world-- that deliberately wanted to destroy those bonds? To isolate you and destroy the heritage you share with others-- your family, your friends-- within your community?

Look, I'm not a "patriot", or a "nationalist", by any stretch of the imagination. But it's remarkable to me that anyone could, with any degree of intellectual honesty, genuinely think through the above scenario-- applying it to themselves-- and not sympathize with the so-called "alt right" on at least some level.
