I aint sure but think u get that because they don't understand the same.... most french "upper elites" are under educated when it comes to Cultures. It has a very different meaning when someone without a state says I feel nationalist opposed to someone with a state but without a culture says I m a nationalist. The second one is dangerous cause it doesn't make sense, specially in europe. Anyway some european states have waged a total war on Nations with a Culture starting with France. So it is very different to me.
