Ha Ya Na?

Yet he [Reihan] also seems to sense that they don’t really coincide, which leaves him in a position where he will neither endorse nor reject the nationalist assumptions of GNP. But either you’re morally in favor of a more cosmopolitan political order or you’re against it. ~Will Wilkinson

This is an unusually strange objection to make against Reihan, who has made very clear that he is a certain kind of nationalist and who agrees with Wilkinson that nationalism and patriotism are extremely closely related (I dissented from this here). 

P.S.  By the way, I’m morally against a “more cosmopolitan political order” as it is meant here.
