I would [url=http://www.dictionary.com/browse/nationalism?s=t]beg[/url] to largely [url=https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/nationalism]differ[/url] on [url=http://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/nationalism]that[/url] particular [url=http://www.yourdictionary.com/nationalism]front[/url]. Of course there are other definitions of it, as is typical with modern language, but [url=https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/nationalism]this[/url] was the only major one I could find. Mind you I did not spend much time investigating this any further, but the only other similar result is just searching the word in Google or on Wiktionary, both of which are notoriously biased narrators.

But...your links prove my point in various places. 

[quote]excessive patriotism; chauvinism. [/quote]

[quote]exalting one nation above all others and placing primary emphasis on promotion of its culture and interests as opposed to those of other nations or supranational groups [/quote]

[quote]excessive, narrow, or jingoist patriotism; chauvinism[/quote] 

Plus it was literally the 2nd point on the google search.

[quote=@Penny]
When I think of nationalism I think of all of the genocides, interments, mass deportations and other horrors which people have enthusiastically embraced in the name of nationalism.

Speaking as a member of the rootless cosmopolitan bourgeoisie, maybe nationalism, like religious fervor, is something that I am just incapable of understanding as I don't and have never felt it. I don't get all weepy when I see flags waving and yellow ribbons and such. I hadn't yet come to America when September 11 happened, but I was here during the end of the Bush years, all that nationalism didn't go to a great place. Problems don't go away because we wave flags, people just cover them up for a time.

I can't imagine what it's like to go through those hurdles.
