I'd like to think this could be strike against English Nationalism but it could also be a strike against Women and Women's football.
Or, most likely, it's a kid being a shit.

Today in Labor History July 11, 1943: The nationalist Ukrainian Insurgent Army launched a massacre of Poles in Nazi-occupied Eastern Galicia. The attacks, which continued until 1945, targeted mostly women and children, and included rape, dismemberment and immolation. 50,000-100,000 died in the attacks, which were directly linked to the policies of the fascist Stepan Bandera's Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, whose goal was to purge all non-Ukrainians from the future Ukrainian state. Bandera is considered a hero by many of the Ukrainian nationalist militias that are currently active in the war with Russia, and many of them also subscribe to goal of purging Ukraine of all non-Ukrainians. In 2016, the Parliament of Poland passed a resolution recognizing the massacres as genocide.
"Engaging the public is vital because the histories we study are often directly linked to current global debates and media narratives. The themes we explore - #colonialism, #religion, #nationalism, #migrations - are relevant to current public debates, yet often misunderstood or oversimplified [...]."

Today in Labor History July 9, 1947: The Greek government ordered the arrest of 11,500 people on charges of plotting a Communist revolution. It occurred during the Greek Civil War (1943-1949), between Royalists (supported by the UK and US) and various Communist factions (supported by Yugoslavia and the USSR). It was the first US proxy war against Russia during the Cold War. Well over 200,000 people died and over 1 million were displaced. Nearly 80 years later, the U.S. continues its attempts to usurp Russia’s regional hegemony through another proxy war. This war has a similar number of deaths and refugees, but in only one-third the amount of time. And this time, both nations possess nuclear arsenals large enough to destroy the planet several times over.
Such a great sentence:
"Almost alone among his contemporaries, [John Ralston Saul] continues to stalk the Snuffleupagus of nationalism know as the Canadian identity."

One could call it performative vs meaningful #Patriotism. 
Also, the pickup truck #flag thing is #Nationalism which is more malignant.
The "Stars n' Bars" flag is #WhiteChristianNationalism in most cases.

Patriotism: Pride in who you are
Nationalist: Pride in who you aren't
Patriotism: Learning from history
Nationalism: Re-inventing history
This #FourthofJuly weekend, know the difference:
#Patriotism encompasses devotion to the country as a whole #Nationalism refers to devotion to only one group of people

Today in Labor History July 4, 1977: The George Jackson Brigade planted a bomb at a power station in Olympia, Washington, in solidarity with a prison strike at the Walla Walla State Penitentiary. They were a revolutionary group founded in the mid-1970s, based in Seattle, named after George Jackson, a prisoner and Black Panther who was shot and killed during an alleged escape attempt at San Quentin Prison in 1971. The Brigade was composed of both communist and anarchist veterans of the women's liberation, LGBTQ and Black Nationalist movements.

“They say, ‘We tried socialism; it didn’t work. We tried… the market model; it didn’t work. What are we supposed to do now?’ ” Stiglitz said. “I think it’s really important to say there are some other models out there.”

“When people feel excluded in social and economic terms, they also often feel excluded in political terms and that can lead to very short-term as well as long-term adversarial outcomes,” he added.

"They were united in their beliefs that co-ops can provide a voice for citizens who feel ignored. That could be an antidote to the anti-system outrage associated with the vote in Great Britain to abandon the European Union and other nationalistic movements, they suggested."

"A family is an opportunity to inflict trauma and leverage emotions—including ICE agents callously watching a six-year-old boy with Leukemia wet himself in custody. A nation is a means of hoarding power and wealth and inflicting, through the circumscription of law, as much pain on their enemies as possible."

"It is glaringly obvious in the cruel ways that Trump’s immigration enforcement has targeted families, terrorized children, and attempted to pit neighbors against each other.
For this administration, a healthy community is one that turns on its own out of fear and prejudice."

"Exclusion, along ideological and identitarian lines, is the MAGA ethos. It’s evident in the attacks on LGBTQ people. It’s clear in the way MAGA politicians regard the parental rights of liberal Americans as subordinate to those of the loudest and angriest right-wingers."
