Internet-nationalism

Internet-nationalism, also referred to as cyber-nationalism, digital-nationalism, or online-nationalism, is a form of nationalism that utilizes digital platforms and online spaces to promote national identity, mobilize nationalist groups, and conduct activities ranging from propaganda dissemination to cyberwarfare against other nations. This phenomenon encompasses both grassroots movements of like-minded individuals gathering in virtual communities and state-sponsored activities aimed at advancing national interests through digital means. As a social phenomenon, cyber-nationalism manifests through nationalistic groups coordinating online activities, including offensive actions such as cyberattacks and election interference targeting other countries. This digital form of nationalism has been documented in several countries including Japan, Russia, and China, where it serves various governmental and grassroots nationalist objectives.
