Like most of the alt-right slang, it originally had other meanings, and it's sometimes used in those meanings too... But when the context is politics, it's the descriptor the alt-right uses for itself.
I have noticed that's a common go-to when anyone points out having sovereign countries is a good thing, maybe they just cant argue it on the merits. I'll leave it here, since it's non-HN stuff.
Why are you still on the whole global government thing? It has nothing to do with this discussion.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_Z
"Gen Z is pretty based." translates to: "I, in general, like the way Gen Z is turning out."
Still I have no idea why you replied to my comment in the first place. It had nothing to do with what I posted.
It's good for you that you like genz, but maybe next time tell it to someone that's interested in that fact.
As much as I don't like wikipedia, I give them props for not falling into the trap of using the "nationalistic" term there. It's ill defined, and not suited to gathering data since different people have different opinions on what it means.
I said "I like Gen Z", and then I said basically "there is nothing wrong in general with liking your country (aka being nationalistic)". I do in fact like them because they are (in my opinion) more pro-US than the previous generation. If you need a wiki to believe me about why I think that, then maybe the second and third sentences in the "Political views" helps. Maybe not. Maybe liking the president means the opposite to you. But wikipedia is junk, and I was stating my opinion so it's kinda moot.
I cant glean what you think I haven't responded to. Your orig comment that I replied to was a single word, I offered what I thought about the quote. Specifically, I saw it as dig on the latest trend toward nationalism, and I think that's a good thing. Maybe say more that just "What" if you are asking for something more specific.
