@mattyglesias Popular mythology says that ethnolinguistic communities, fixed and eternal, created states in their images. In reality, states ruling over heterodox populations engineered linguistic homogeneity and ethnic identities for the sake of political legitimation and mass mobilization. — PolitiTweet.org

@mattyglesias This gets the causation backwards. Europeans didn’t just borders around preexisting, homogenous ethnolinguistic communities. The borders came first, then the language was homogenized and the ethnic identity created. In 1789 France only 12% of the population spoke French fluently. — PolitiTweet.org
