    I quite like regionalism that doesn’t align with national borders. An example would be “limburgers” have a strong shared identity, even as parts of it lie in Belgium, and parts of it lie in the Netherlands.

    Fundamentally it comes down to this question, I think: people tend to like to be around people that’ve shared a same background, is that’s ok? And to what degree?

      Tribalism is tribalism whether or not they reach national borders

      The only reason you think they are ‘cute’ is that they don’t have military power

      Give the Limburgers a military that can compete on the world stage and in a few years they would be just the same as any other nationalist power
