Andovi and Abigail dive into the topic of nationalism in Indonesia, exploring its different forms, its dangers, and how it can be interpreted in various ways. They tackle the big questions such as: What does it mean to love your country, and when does pride become over-the-top? In this episode we use the term “nationalism” and “patriotism” sort of interchangeably, as many Indonesians often do as well.
