nationalist

形容詞[C] 可算名詞
複数形: nationalists比較級: more nationalist最上級: most nationalist

This term carries a heavy emotional charge that fluctuates based on the political climate. In the context of liberation movements, it is often viewed as a positive, heroic drive for self-determination and freedom from oppression. In a modern geopolitical context, however, it frequently acquires a pejorative tone, suggesting an aggressive or exclusionary attitude that prioritizes one's own country at the expense of international cooperation or the rights of minorities.

Countable when referring to individual people who hold these beliefs (e.g., three nationalists attended the rally).
