"Civic Nationalism isn’t really nationalism. It’s a kind of cosmopolitanism that tries to use a commonality of polity (i.e., which legal jurisdiction you inhabit) as a faux basis of a fictional nationalism. Real nationalism is always race-based and ethnicity-based because in natural terms your race and ethnicity is your nation. Your country and your nation are two different things: A country is a legally defined thing (it’s artificial) whereas your nation is a biologically/culturally defined thing (it’s natural). Yes, that’s correct: Even the word nation shares the same root word (nate) with nativity and native and natal, and all of them refer to the birth of children.
Adolf Hitler put it succinctly: The state is a vessel; the race and ethnicity is what it contains."
