I mean vampirism in the mythic context; like Twilight.
*Even if the average citizen were to become a literal vampire, they could still be anti-nationalist
Yep. Vampires aren't nationalists,
ever.
I would say, that vampires aren't ever nationalist to the extent of true philosophy; for example, the philosophy that outer space can believe in Afghans liking the Scream saga, even if Afghans have no power. I can't imagine, a work of fiction including a nationalist vampire who espouses this viewpoint
Do you share my enthusiasm, for such an example?
Seems to me parasites (vampires) aren't territorial. They're prey-oriented. They go where the greatest concentration of
food is. And they wanna move from region to region easily. They got no use for boundaries.
As for culture (high or low): the young parasite may appreciate it, may have sympathy for the appreciation his
food has for culture, but, with time,
feeding overshadows everything. The seasoned parasite is truly only interested in his
food (cultivatin' it, managing the
herds). He retains the veneer, the
appearance of his former self, but under the skin: he's an amoral monster.
As for space: a sure sign you're dealin' with a parasite is when he poo-poos the idea of man gettin'
up & out. Nationalism is already a thorn to the parasite: his
food, leavin' Earth, that's unacceptable. No, he wants his
livestock here.
