They are forms of intense group loyalty based on race, ethnicity, or nationality that result in the oppression of those with different identities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some examples of atrocities caused by this kind of exacerbated sense of belonging to a collective are the following:<\/p>\n<ol style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<li><strong>GENOCIDES<\/strong> and massacres, such as the Nazi Holocaust (7 million victims); the killings of ethnic Germans against Slavs (more than 6 million); killings between Indians and Pakistanis (up to 2 million); by Turkish nationalists against Armenians (up to 1.5 million), Greeks (up to 900,000) and Assyrians (up to 750,000); killings between Tutsis and Hutus in Rwanda (more than 1 million); by Croatian nationalists against Serbs during WWII (up to more than half a million), by European Americans against American Indians in both North and South America, Congolese against Pygmies, etc. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; padding-left: 40px;\">These atrocities continue today, as is happening against various ethnic groups in Darfur (up to 500,000), against the Acholi in Uganda (hundreds of thousands), or the Rohingya in Myanmar. However, the death toll is only the tip of the iceberg of the suffering caused, since one must add the much larger numbers of people tortured, raped, traumatized, orphaned, parents who have lost their children and other types of victims. In other words, toxic gregariousness has shown time and again to be almost as lethal to humans as insecticide is to flies.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">2. <strong>ETHNIC CLEANSING<\/strong> that causes, in addition to massacres, mass displacement such as that of Germans from Eastern Europe after World War II (more than 14 million), Indians and Pakistanis after the partition of India (14 million), Serbs, Kosovars and other ethnic groups from the former Yugoslavia in the wars of the 1990s (about 4 million), Palestinians and Jews, ethnic groups in South Sudan, etc. This means losing practically everything and having to start life from scratch. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">3. <strong>WARS<\/strong> of nationalist origin, such as World War I (20 million dead), World War II (75\u201380 million dead), the Japanese invasions of the 1930s, etc. To these figures one must add many millions more victims of amputations, wounds, rape, grief over the death of loved ones, loss of homes and property, painful psychological after-effects, hunger, etc. In other words, ultranationalism is a true weapon of mass destruction whose button we press from time to time.  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a036247 elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"a036247\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1671\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1671\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Read more...<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1671\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1671\"><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">4. <strong>SLAVERY<\/strong>. <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/institutodelbienestar.com\/en\/live-without-harming\/publications\/rise-against-modern-slavery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more&#8230;<\/a><\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left; padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: inherit;\">5. <strong>APARTHEID<\/strong>, segregation, and subjugation systems such as those in South Africa, Rhodesia and elsewhere.

Also the Vikings with Franks, Anglo-Saxons, and Celts, the Franks with Saxons, and the descendants of the latter were very racist toward other peoples from other continents.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Likewise, in general, Christian Europeans behaved this way toward pagan Slavs, Jews, Moors, and later toward all non-white people.

Probably no people are spared from this congenital disease.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of them share this type of thinking as a common denominator: I abuse you because it benefits me and you belong to a group different from mine.
