Looking at these members of the Holy Father Association exchanging glances, Horn felt equally conflicted.
The Holy Father Association, in essence, is a radical nationalist group cloaked under the guise of religion.
While nationalism can be beneficial, for the Thousand River Valley, which has a population of only four to six million, it is a poison.
Because their main ethnic group is too few, and their ethnic history and culture are not only shallow but also have gaps.
The forceful promotion of nationalism results in the emergence of two cancerous issues: the invention of history and the prevalence of populism.
Once the above two situations occur, they inevitably lead to government policies being hijacked by public sentiment, ultimately leading to self-destruction and even the "Thousand River Valley powder keg" situation.
However, Horn cannot completely deny the claims of the Holy Father Association, as the imagined community of the nation does indeed have its progressiveness.
