Where there are refugees, there are borders. Where there are borders, there is nationality and nationalism. There is nationality because of sovereignty, yarning for freedom, self determination, non interference, self governance, independence, national security.There is nationalism because of insecurity, fear of losing National Ethnic Identity (NEI), hatred of the other, powerlessness, and fears: fears of scarcity of resources, poverty, hardship, fear losing dominance, fear of globalization, fear of multilateralism, fear of diversity; fear of loss of culture, religion, tradition, self or pride for one’s country or self of being.There is rejection of refugee, hardening the border, repatriating refugee, or letting them die or drown on the high seas for nationalistic motives: insecurity, hatred of others, loss of power, and fears: fear of the scarcity of resources, poverty, hardship, losing National Ethnic Identity (NEI), fear losing dominance, fear of globalization, change, or multilateralism; fear of diversity, or fear of losing culture, religion, tradition, wealth, or pride for one’s country or self of being.The world can be better only if we have confidence in ourselves – in believing and trusting our intelligence, uniqueness, prowess, essentiality, and humanity. Nothing replaces the unreplaceable. Nothing cancels the uncanceled. Toxic Cruel Nationalism (TCN) is not Patriotic National Sovereignty (PNS), but racism, sexism, bigotry, or despise.
