Saul Bellow in Sammler's Planet has a devastating critique of Arendt's thesis. Too bad the article didn't mention either that great author or his novel.

It's just a fricking TV show.

Cracked masculinity? What Hooey.

"Can a nationalist people be a light among the nations?"

Every people that has been a light upon the nations since ancient times were nationalistic peoples.

Who was more nationalistic then the Ancient Greeks, the Arabs, the French, the English, etc.

These have all acted for good and ill, as a light unto the nations.

No people can act coherently without the sense of itself as a "people" which is to say as a "nation," conscious of itself as different from other nations, which is the definition of nationalism.
