It is not quite Brooks' nationalism....
I am not in Friedman's camp.

When Friedman explains that nationalism is not inherently a so called conservative (whatever that now means) thing, but rather a liberal thing, this is a very correct important point. A classic example is Weimar Germany.
Wilsonian self determination was a classic statement of the concept.
You might think of it as a laissez faire of similar race, culture, and ethnicity combining across or within old imperial boundaries.

I am less a nationalist than an imperialist, but strictly Western Imperialism. This imperialism was the traditional order against which the Democratic Revolution unfolded from say 1760.
It rebelled against imperialism both in favor of nationalism, and also, contradictorily, universalism, as well incongruously as individualism, simultaneously.
That is why the history has been so misunderstood.
