It's not about isolating and ranking historical events or periods tied to whatever nation-state ideology you were brought up with. It's about questioning the authority and functions of nation-state narratives in the first place. And realizing that ugliness is often borne out of the most seemingly banal things ever.
Being proud of your randomly assigned geography and demography can and has come with some good. But it's nothing compared to the ugliness it causes.
