Michael Billig
“If the future remains uncertain, we know the past history of nationalism. And that should be sufficient to encourage a habit of watchful suspicion.”
Michael Billig, Banal Nationalism

Albert Einstein
“Nationalism is an infantile thing. It is the measles of mankind.”
Albert Einstein

Bryant McGill
“Extreme nationalism objectifies and dehumanizes those from other countries.”
Bryant McGill, Voice of Reason

Banksy
“People who enjoy waving flags don't deserve to have one”
Banksy, Wall and Piece

Arundhati Roy
“Flags are bits of colored cloth that governments use first to shrink-wrap people’s brains and then as ceremonial shrouds to bury the dead. When independent-thinking people (and here I do not include the corporate media) begin to rally under flags, when writers, painters, musicians, film makers suspend their judgment and blindly yoke their art to the service of the “Nation,” it’s time for all of us to sit up and worry.”
