#fake thesis tag#assimilation and its discontents#my argument of course is that the modern nation-state uses this sort of selective multiculturalism &#'collective historical memory' & the Idea of Europe to reify its continued existence & justify#the violence that entails lol#the modern former Ostbloc nation-state that is trying to Become Western that is#interwar Poland wanted to be France & England so bad it made them look stupid & this generation of well-meaning#liberal-minded academics & activists want to be Berlin with a Scandinavian economy a Schengen visa & fluent English so bad it makes them#give me sympathetic secondhand embarrassment#is the EXTREMELY reductive tl;dr#the Cold War never ended and neither did the Napoleonic Wars which makes everything very temporally insane
