Why are you a nationalist?

Why aren't you a regionalist? Or a imperialist? Or a continentalist?
What makes nation in particular so special that this is the ingroup you decide is important

but im proud of the history of america and its achievements
>regionalist
ofc on a practical level its most important that i can live well in my region, but its easy to move from region to region in america and the culture is generally the same everywhere so this doesnt matter that much
>imperialist
i am definitely pro-empire and i think eventually america will have to charter companies to colonise resource rich shitholes
>continentalist
what does this even mean

All spooks

i wish we could fix obesity and are shitty cities

Nationalism and imperialism are opposed
You either think that nation have to govern themselves, or you think that one power has the right to govern everyone else

what is the point of this reply

This questions presents a fake choice.
The reality is that every normal, psychologically healthy and spiritually healthy human being has concentric circles of love and loyalty decreasing as they get further away.

At the centre is the family, these are who you are most loyal to , prioritise the most, care about the most, love the most. the next circle that you are the next most loyal to is the extended family e.g. the clan or tribe.
then the next circle that you are the next most loyal to is often your community or town
The next circle that you are the next most loyal to is generally the ethnicity or nation
then the next circle that you are the next most loyal to is your race
and somewhere in between those levels is loyalty to your fellow religion-followers.

so being loyal to your nation , i.e. being a nationalist, isn't exclusive or contradictory to being even more loyal to people from a particular region of your country.

Furthermore, historical conditions might be such that no internationally recognised country represents your nation , e.g. the kurds, in which case your "nation" would be simply your people, rather than an internationally recognised country.

You're right that the ultimate instinct is in-group preference, and how that manifests will depend on the historical circumstances
but there isn't really a a conflict there.

but it's obvious that anyone possessing this in-group preference instinct (virtually all of humanity) would prioritise his particular people and nation higher than the rest of the continent.

>What makes nation in particular so special that this is the ingroup you decide is important

Because my nation wants to regain its independence, and with that we can push through social and political reforms that would've been otherwise impossible (e.g. abolishing the monarchy and aristocracy, rejoining the EU, legalising weed etc. etc.)
