    No, they are not the same. 
    One is about the country. 
    The other is a group of idiots who we do not need.

    Other countries have nationalists too, so it isn't just a white thing. 

    In one respect, the insanities of 1947 are reverberating now with growing Hindu nationalism in a professedly secular India.

    Founded in 2014—two years after Burma experienced religiously motivated riots largely targeting the Muslim minority—and now with sub-chapters across the country, Ma Ba Tha has become virtually synonymous with Buddhist nationalism.

    Over the last few years, however, a strong contender in the form of Tamil nationalism has emerged because Tamil Nadu got into river water disputes with all the neighbouring states and the neighbours did not seem to care much for Dravidian niceties although Telugus, Kannadigas and Malayalis are putatively Dravidian.

    Israel also has a far right nationalist party as does Palestine.

    Turkey has a nationalist movement

    Same for the movement of Arab Nationalists.

    This is an extremely informative and help reply kj for which I thank. The world is becoming more FASCIST NATIONALIST RACIST. Despots dictators authoritarins are taking over the world. I cannot for the life of me understand what is so appealing about them to anyone anywhere. Can you? It is as if  deadly plague is spreading and killing people leaving empty bodies behind that robotic lifeless docile. Thank you for your reply. I'm gonna ask.
