You believe in fostering national unity and pride while promoting individual freedoms and equal rights for all citizens.
Liberal Nationalism is a political ideology that combines aspects of liberalism and nationalism. It advocates for self-determination, freedom, equality, and the sovereignty of nations while also emphasizing individual rights, civil liberties, and the rule of law. This ideology emerged during the 19th century, primarily in Europe, as a response to the oppressive regimes of the time.

What do national symbols like the flag or anthem mean to you, and how do they shape your identity?
@Name-IrrelevantConstitution 3mos3MO
A flag can stand for the historical values of the country it represents, the people who died to protect it, or both.
@9K99Q683mos3MO
The flag that represents a country that doesn’t care about my rights or my life, as a woman, does not shape my identity in any way.
@Name-IrrelevantConstitution3mos3MO
That's the good thing about America. If you disagree, there's no mandate to let it shape your identity. It just stands for the values of the country as a whole, and/or those who died to protect it.
@9K8ZHZX3mos3MO
They represent your beliefs and nationality. The U.S. is a great example because you know we stand for freedom and liberty.
@9K8LB8G3mos3MO
Being a first-generation American in my family has shown me the vast differences in cultures between other nationalities. Personally, I've never cared for being patriotic in any way but I am proud of who I am and the culture I take part in as an American.
@9K8YP8T3mos3MO
It gives a sense of nationality and citizenship. Represents home. It gives a sense of identity as much as race, culture, and ethnicity. It does not reflect me as a person, it is just a title. To be an American, does not mean a white person.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
What’s a moment that made you proud of how your country supports freedom or human rights?
@9L6YVJMLibertarian2mos2MO
When I've seen how people in Middle-eastern or even just south of our border our treated by their governments.
@9LHF9V61mo1MO
The 1st amendment gives everyone the right to speak.
@9LHD9PJ1mo1MO
When they fired the officer and sent him to prison for killing george floyd.
@9LHD5QP 1mo1MO
Giving more people human rights in the past. (Unfortunately the way its going, basic human rights are being stripped away by the second.)
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO

Does celebrating one's national history and culture necessarily require downplaying or ignoring the histories and cultures of others?
@9H5FL4J6mos6MO
it doesnt all cultures should have their own time and national recognition as a way to celebrate
@9H5FTN66mos6MO
No, it does not, however the focus is that one culture.
@9H5FZXF6mos6MO
No, certain cultures have histories of atrocities (white people) and moving forward you need to recognize past mistakes if you want to celebrate the good, rather then continue hurtful agendas.
@9H5FPSWIndependent6mos6MO
No, it does not, however the focus is that one culture.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
What's one tradition from your country that you believe symbolizes the balance between unity and individual freedoms?
@9HYFVY44mos4MO
probably just being a very neutral state but still being a blue state
@9HYFTP3Peace and Freedom4mos4MO
A tradition that effects the balance between unity and individual freedoms, Is the way are choices are made.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
How have your personal achievements been influenced or supported by your nation's values?
@9HYF46G4mos4MO
My Achievements could be influenced or support our nation because I have some perfect Ideas that can change our country with rights and freedom because in today's world meaning present, there is still racism out there in the world.
@9HYBLS5 4mos4MO
social media influences much, i dont like the government or politicians
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
How can a country's laws reflect both the collective identity of a nation and the rights of individual citizens?
@9HMYPSH5mos5MO
A country's laws are established majorly for the equal protection of individuals within a country. These guarantees of protections and order of the law create a collective identity for the nation.
@9HMYNK95mos5MO
A country's laws can reflect what the collective citizenship of said country agrees upon for their laws.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
If you had the power to instigate one change in your nation's policies, what would it be and why?
@9HMYHYX5mos5MO
I would change the tax codes to lower taxes and to stop sending money to other countries.
@9HMYHQJIndependent5mos5MO
We should stop getting involved in foreign problems and sending them money
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
If there was one misconception about your country you could change, what would it be and why?
@9HTM67PIndependent5mos5MO
One thing I would change is freedom of speech is considered twisted. People think freedom of speech means you can say whatever you want but in reality there are some limits.
@9HTM4QX5mos5MO
that my country has a weak military which is not true.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
When has a major news event shifted your perspective on your nation's role in global issues?
@9L5KMZ22mos2MO
When we forced Ukraine to back out of a peace treaty with Russia in 2022 and continued the Russia/Ukraine war. Russia continues to send peace treaty offers to Ukraine but Ukraine is forced to reject them thanks to the international bully known as the U.S. government
@9L4SDKK 2mos2MO
The removal of the US from the Paris Agreement has shifted my perspective on the US's role in global issues since this event reinforces the power of the US decisions and how the US must make more efforts in diplomacy and cooperation with other nations to ensure a better path forward, not dragging its feet on grand issues like climate change when most other nations have already adopted such policies.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
What steps can younger generations take to shape a national identity that is open and respects personal freedoms?
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
What role do local heroes play in your life, and can they be a source of unity for your country?
@9KV5JZD2mos2MO
I believe they bring more attention to being helpful to everyone no matter who they are or what they are like.
@9KV53Z42mos2MO
Generally kind people who are considered local heros, those that do small acts of kindness make unity in their country and all together form unity in the country
