Noun

An advocate of nationalism.
You are either a globalist or a nationalist; one cannot be both.
- 2011, Gerard Toal, Carl T Dahlman, Bosnia Remade, page 53:
  The dilemma arose from what nationalists perceived as an intolerable disjuncture between the broad geographical extent of Serbdom—the imagined community of Serbs—and the Serbian state as a territorial homeland.
- 2019 February 21, Guy Verhofstadt, “A Trump trade war with Europe would hurt the trans-Atlantic relationship”, in CNN‎^[2]:
  It also would cut deeply into the trans-Atlantic alliance at the worst possible time by giving anti-American, anti-capitalist nationalists and protectionists in Europe a platform to thrive. Anti-American sentiment will grow, and Europe risks a retreat to protectionism. Those of us who make the case for the trans-Atlantic alliance will have a much harder job.
