Nationalism is drawing borders around preexistent tribalism to keep it contained.
It is exactly violations of those borders which got us wars in Europe. Sometimes for the sake of colonization, sometimes for the sake of unification, sometimes for the sake of ill-conceived peace, and almost always a bad idea in the end.
I'm not even that much optimistic about the future of the EU, to be honest.
