"Nationalism is a form of passive activism but it is more an expression of self interest"
Is self-interest a bad thing? Do you ever act out of self-interest? If a nation acts in its own self interest is that any worse than acting in the interests of a different nation? Do you imagine that your lifestyle today is a consequence of your ancestors not acting in their (your) self-interest? History is full of successful societies, companies, families, individuals acting in their own self interest.
The steps you want to follow are not the safest ones, political correctness ends up killing people, you're a fool if you think otherwise.
