From the New Culturists website comes this quote.
The West matters and is a force for good. If we fall, these Marxist professors will not end up in paradise. China and Iran will not promulgate the western concept of rights. So academics’ work to delegitimize our nations is dangerous. Furthermore, I love my nation. It has given me my heroes, culture, and identity. So, please forgive me if this article has had less scholarly objectivity and more insults than academic should employ. But, I hate seeing my loved ones called “invented,” “imagined,” tricks.
The nation is not the state, and the map is not the territory. For those of us who live in countries that exist as a consequence of the British Empire, for good and for ill, we look back to the English, the Scots, the Irish and the Welsh — to that fractious and colourful history that dates from Roman Times to the present. This tradition is living. We see it in the way that our rituals fall together — a hymn based on the writings of an English Radical, a political song against the Scottish Jacobites that became a national anthem, and then a song written by the Scot whose statue is in the center of my city.
