Roger Scruton on the origins of anti-nationalism:
In 1885 these people were common enough to be considered a public nuisance:
“…They never would be missed — they never would be missed!
Then the idiot who praises, with enthusiastic tone,
All centuries but this, and every country but his own;“
No doubt it took a while for them to capture enough educational instutions, publishing houses, and so on.
A knock-on effect of mass-slaughtering the men capable of resisting this kind of thing in two World Wars?

There is an excellent book by Swedish-American independent scholar Benedict Beckeld, Western Self-Contempt: Oikophobia in the Decline of Civilizations, which traces the development of this concept, from the ancient Greeks to today’s Wokerati. Great read!
