"CARL SCHIMIDT AND NATIONALISM"
"In the era of populism in europe where the 'AFD' occupied majority of the seats in east germany. Nationalism has become the subject of this discussion. The question arises, 'What is associated with the nationalistic tendecies of people?'."
"In the case of europe, the topic of immigration is not something you're able to ignore if you want to understand the phenomena of nationalists in europe where the immigrant is designated as the enemy by the nationalists."
"From the nationalist's perspective, the immigrant is a non-citizen who isn't loyal to the nation-state. There are other things that are associated with the hatred of immigrants relating to differences of ethnicities and other things and these ethnic-differences have become the subject of debate on the topic of people having their citizenship removed."
"Whilst there is much to discuss on the view of the nationalist towards the immigrant, what we want to discuss today is the nationalist's focus on the immigrant of being the enemy of the nation-state. Now there is no doubt that both we and you have what both we and you consider as enemies. If you believed that it wasn't possible for you to have enemies, do you really believe in something?"
"The existence of our enemies is not the subject of this discussion, what is the subject of this discussion, is a group of people who believe in an ideology that centers around their enemy known as nationalism. Now what has Carl Schimdt got to do with nationalists? Carl Schimidt was a german philosopher who tried to explain the nation-state where he was known for mentioning the 'state of exception' and his understanding of the political where he believed that the political is reducible to hatred towards your enemy."
"If you understand this, you probably understand the behaviours of nationalists organisations where these nationalist organisations center their proposals solely on their aversion of their enemy such that their aversion of their enemy is of higher intensity than their love towards their people (if they have any at all) where they are willing to abandon their 'principles' out of their aversion."
"Hindutva (an ideology based upon the schimittian understanding of politics within south asia) understood the european nationalists where they worked with them and they were willing to cooperate with them against other groups."
"In the context of south asia, Hindutva have advocated for hindu-unity which is antithetical to hinduism (hindu caste system). In their attempt of pushing hindu-unity they center their ideology around their hatred of muslims."
"The moment they shifted their focus, their nationalistic tendencies withered away and their desire to identify themselves as hindutva...withered away."
