Growing nationalism (my country = big ego) is an outcome of the fragmentary perception of thought.

Nationalism is deadly, all the evidence is there.

People are hypnotized by memory (my country, my team, my flag, my family, my language, my history vs your history, flag, etc.)

Among others, those who talk on TV (like machine guns), the leaders, the professors, the stars are hypnotized by the records of their memory, by their knowledge, by thoughts.

Religious divisions similarly. Organized religions are just empty shells of superstition and exploitation without the core: Unitary Perception.
