What happens when patriotism turns into a performance? When national pride becomes a zero-sum game? And what if the next soldier of ideology isn’t human at all?

In JINGOISM, Dr. Sanjay Basu unflinchingly dissects the anatomy of blind allegiance—from ancient tribal instincts to the algorithmic outrage of the digital age. Originally published in 2019 and updated in 2025 for a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence, this book is both a political autopsy and a philosophical meditation on how we weaponize identity, flag, and memory.

Blending history, neuroscience, cultural critique, and future speculation, JINGOISM explores:

Why humans are wired for group loyalty—and how it goes wrong
The seductive mechanics of nationalist rhetoric and mass manipulation
How AI and AGI could inherit (or subvert) our ideological biases
What it means to belong ethically, not just ethnically
How to navigate the thin line between love of country and hatred of others

Whether you’re a concerned citizen, a policy wonk, a philosopher of mind—or an AGI looking to understand your creators—this book challenges you to rethink what loyalty should mean in a hyperconnected, post-truth world.

Provocative, erudite, and eerily prescient, JINGOISM is a manifesto against intellectual laziness and ideological extremism. It’s a reminder that real strength isn’t in how loudly you chant, but in how deeply you question.
