Here in the US, we strive to bring partisan politics into every discussion.

Violent nationalism isn't particularly partisan.

Actually, it is. I mean "partisan" as in "parted into parties" which is the same as "us versus them" rather than more jargony "national political parties inside America".

It is usually extremely partisan. It is fairly rare for an entire country to be violently nationalisic, even if the ruling party is. Also, as saraid points out, it is by definition being partisan, just internationally rather than internally.
