Very insightful and challenging discussion of what we would probably call tribalism more than nationalism, as this essay goes after both right-wingers and left-wingers equally. I heartily recommend reading it because it's so short, and I especially value the conclusion that he reaches, that while those of us who are tribal cannot simply think ourselves out of it, knowing that we are tribal is a start. Perhaps that's the best we can hope for, and hopefully it is enough.

I've always found Orwell's fiction more impactful than his non-fiction, but it was interesting to reflect on the similarities and differences between the Britain he described 80 odd years ago and the present nation
