Notes on Nationalism

Given Orwell's background and the time he wrote this, I wonder what shaped his perspective on political ideologies and patriotism.

The way he discusses how nationalism can distort truth and morality felt eerily current. Are these ideas still resonating in recent political climates?

Orwell's nuanced approach made me think about how everyday expressions of loyalty can be just as dangerous as extreme nationalism. I wonder what led him to explore this angle.
