The irony of calling out nationalism in a community named โ€œBuy Europeanโ€โ€ฆ

โ€œYeah, we are nationalistic, but not that nationalistic!โ€

I know, unpopular opinion, just vote me down.

(I agree with the โ€œdonโ€™t support Nazisโ€ part independent from the nationalism topic, though)

Kind of, but remember that Europe is not a nation, so I don't know if nationalism is the correct term.

Chauvinism or jingoism might work.

Also, while europe isnt a single nation, the EU is a single economy, so maybe "nationalism" still applies.

Yes, you are certainly right and I also understand that.
But it has the same reasoning and feels like it, stressing themes of common identity and all, even though Europe technically isn't a nation.
