Ernest Gellner had a theory on the origins of early nationalism; it was a response to the identity dislocation that occured as societies modernized.
Specifically the transition from Gesellschaft—the small village—to Gemeinschaft—the large city.
I’m wondering if the current rise of Western nationalism isn’t also a response to identity dislocation; from an employment culture to a casually employed culture, resulting from technology unemployment.

You are going long on this technology unemployment theme. My own reconnaissance is that the evidence in favor of human obsolescence seems far from conclusive. What are the workings supporting your position?
