American Nationalism: Blood & Soil

About this episode

The episode discusses the concept of blood and soil in American Nationalism and explores what it means to be part of the American people.

Among the various reasons to turn to Nationalism, one of the most fundamental is a feeling of reverence for the blood of your people and the ground beneath your feet. At the most basic level, a nation is a shared people, in a shared land, with a perceived sense of continuity: a sense that “we are the same people across time, the same as we have been and as we will be.” We discuss the idea of blood and soil in American Nationalism, what it means to be the American people, and briefly defend the idea of American soil.
