Interesting video. What stood out to me the most was the phrase "a dangerous move towards Far-Right nationalism". That's interesting on several levels to me, but it does go along with a political theory I've been batting around lately - that "communism" never really left us, it just changed it's name to "globalism" and started picking up steam. I may more fully develop that theory in another thread later, but for the time being I find it odd that people are seeing "nationalism" as "dangerous" - it hasn't been 30 years ago that was the patriotic norm... but now the world has slid so far Left into Globalism that it is now seen as "dangerous". I have to ask myself - dangerous to WHOM?
Nationalism has always been a dangerous thing to communists (since communists were collectivists, and had designs on global domination, which is hard to accomplish with nationalistic fervor insisting on borders), but now it appears that, since the Globalists have donned that collectivist mantle, it's now dangerous to Globalists.
And rightfully so... but how have they managed to convince the proletariat masses to view patriotism - i.e. what they are calling "nationalism" - as a "dangerous" thing? The answer, as is so often the case, is a "legacy media" campaign. We KNOW who controls the legacy media, and just as Orwell forecast in his writings, it has proven to be an effective propaganda organ.
People only"know" what they are told, and as the older patriotic generations die off, all they are being told is what the legacy media - i.e. TPTB - wants them to hear and believe.
Orwell would be proud of them... or, perhaps, simply aghast that they actually fell for it.

"...dangerous move towards Far-Right nationalism"
A foreigner lashing at other foreigners, as if they/we are all the same.
No unique flavors, scents, cuisines.
Why is globalism so prevalent with the 'rich' and 'accomplished'?
Because they want it...all.
They (*) must erase the past, to make space for the future they desire.
Just as in Rush's "2112", all distinctions of the past are banished into the new soup/s of homogenized humanity.
Think you'll ever hear "Stairway to Heaven", again? ..."Free Bird"...?
They have ears in everything...if they want them.
Just waiting for AI to develop an all-hearing Ear, and all-seeing Eye.
They will shut you down.
(Perhaps, not 'you' - but the majority of the rest of us - shut down.)
As you say - they can change the meaning of anything, with their 'legacy' mouthpieces.
The only shot we have at maintaining our individual sovereignty and national sovereignty, at this time, may be to keep 'Nationalism' in focus.
Nationalism & Patriotism do seem to walk side by side.
The only 'pride' I have in my country's history, comes in the form of highlights...
I do not find our 'form of government', or 'constitution'...or 'peoples'...to be sacred (or inspired by the/a better god)...aside from the fact that we are still fighting for our lives.
When I die, do I go as the 'lowly' ant...unnoticed, easily forgotten... Or, was/is there something 'more' to being me?
Is there something about me/You worth fighting for --- Something 'holy', as we (many) have been told?
If not, 'sovereignty' will be the next badge of humanity to vanish.
Ever been owned?
Like in the military?
(*Communists/Globalists)

The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same.
