Jingoism is a tendency to justify unfairness and bad behavior with nationalist excuses. Nationalism means to give more importance to unity by way of a cultural background, including language and heritage.
Tbh Western countries do need white nationalism asap else you gonna lose your geography .
The world is changing rapidly but some are clinging to the old divisions of bigotry and hatred and "my tribe will fight your tribe". That world is on the way out in spite of the dark forces trying to stop the light from dawning. The light is breaking out all over: in song, in poetry and even on TV as this statement from Babylon 5 shows. Substitute any division you wish for the show's aliens:
The Universe speaks in many languages, but only one voice.
The language is not Narn or Human or Centauri or Gaim or Minbari.
It speaks in the language of hope. It speaks in the language of trust.
It speaks in the language of strength, and the language of compassion.
It is the language of the heart and the language of the soul.
But always it is the same voice.
It is the voice of our ancestors speaking through us.
And the voice of our inheritors waiting to be born.
It is the small, still voice that says we are One.
No matter the blood, no matter the skin,
No matter the world, no matter the star,
We are One.
No matter the pain, no matter the darkness,
No matter the loss, no matter the fear.
We are One.
Here, gathered together in common cause
We agree to recognize this singular truth and this singular rule:
That we MUST be kind to one another.
Because each voice enriches us and ennobles us,
And each voice lost diminishes us.
We are the voice of the universe, the soul of creation,
The fire that will light the way to a better future.
We are One.

"on the way out" China is still full of Chinese. russia is still full of Russians. the only two superpowers that hold a candle next to us. one is the head of the worlds production and the other an active military presence we butt heads with. it only seems like its "going out" in Europe and America. and Europe is in flames and ruin. greece is bankrupt. turkey completely fell to Islam (not much surprise) constant terrorist attacks. in most of europe and a high spike in crime that is undeniable and from official sources. and I mean all and all this seems not very beneficial. yet even with all of that mixing to say that tribalism is dying would be a lie. go to any major city and you will find a black gang a Mexican gang and a small white gang if it exists. the countries that seem to be doing the best either keep their doors shut or only selectively let others in.
I mean if everything was rosy and perfect than would Europe and in turn America not be leading the way? yet we are falling behind drastically while if you simply glance at Russia's GDP the entire time its been under Putin it has been rising drastically. everything in it has been approving. china itself has seemed to be improving itself also. it plans on opening a city sometime by 2020 that is entirely green energy ran. (if thats true or not idk just saw a article on it)
now the melting pot for us seems like its going nowhere at least until our next civil war which will probably happen. but to claim it "Good" requires much evidence and backing. and all of it shows its not benifical for said people or nation.
