Super-nationalism is an attempt to use a country as a power source instead of a solution to problems. That mentality is of course extremely common but seldom so dramatic as to overwhelm social structures which have the purpose of creating rationality.

There are elements of super-nationalism that show up in the demonstrations for Trump. Nationalism is obvious in the claim of making America great, and no corrupters could miss the fascism of destroying rationality and all that is right in the process. Fascism is a necessary part of corruption at a national level being the essence of the innate standard that corrupters operate by.

Power mongers use any source of power they can find. Whatever they are in contact with and familiar with is exploited for mongering power. If it is physics, journalists will push the fraud to the skies and decree the result to be the highest achievements of man. If it's politics, opponents will call it the corrupt fraud that it is.

Academics get too superficial if not rationalistic in their characterizations of political effects. There are underlying forces at work in politics which need to be understood and explained to create the power of truth. Only truth will end corruption.

Journalists do very little to oppose corruption with truth. They evolve mind-frames for their standards. Mind-frames are too isolated and fleeting to evaluate, but the resulting deficiencies and corruptions are relevant.

A mind-frame is something like a force that develops on social media. Only the persons involved know the particulars. But strangely, such mind-frames are extremely resilient in brushing off rationality.

An example of a journalistic mind-frame is to never allow moral implications to enter reporting. Opinion columns can do so, but not the reporting. Only the reporting will influence social views significantly, while the opinions disappear in the background. So the public does not get a concept of right-from-wrong in the corruptions being reported. Critics refer to that type of reporting as stenography.

So there would hypothetically be an extreme deficiency of journalism that goes with such large-scale social corruptions as super-nationalism, just as there was a major deficiency of journalism that went with the recent election of a totalitarian fascist in the U.S.

One of the characteristics of all corruption is fake sacredness. Corrupters feel a need to be extremely imposing and intolerant of anyone who doesn't go along. They seem to feel their lives depend upon them prevailing with their corruptions. So they add an element of sacredness to the cause trying to condemn anyone who doesn't go along.

Nationalism and the closely related patriotism drip with such sacredness. Anyone who doesn't go along supposedly hates the country. Journalists should expose the fakery for what it is. They only do so in the background opinion columns.

All corruption is an attempt to go somewhere. Where is too imaginary to be described. But the tactics are always the same: bowl over all opponents to prevail in dominating everyone and everything.

That mentality stems from corrupters being losers and needing to win. We know this because they keep saying so. They are stuck on winning, which means they are losers.

Corrupters are always trying to replace rationality with arbitrary whim. So there is of course a replacement process to super-nationalism. The attempt is to replace functional social structures with power structures that can be arbitrated by incompetent losers.

Super-nationalism is an attempt to shift the meaning of rational existence into a state of corruption as if it were a superior state of existence. The state of existence that corrupters try to achieve is pretended to be absolute in its superiority. The absoluteness of totalitarians is an attempt to sustain that pretense. Worship is demanded as the shield against independent existence.

The Nazism in Germany was of course the closest anyone ever came to achieving such results. The more power the Nazis acquired, the more problems they created for themselves. Enemies are always blamed for the problems corrupters create, so the need to fight wars increases with the degree of success corrupters achieve.
