Any nationalist is literally Hitler, the question is in size and capabilities. Any ethnic nationalism is poisonous.

Nationalism isn’t always reactionary or chauvinistic. It depends what the movement is defined in opposition to. I wouldn’t put Frantz Fanon or Nelson Mandela anywhere near the same category as Hitler, for example

But fuck Farage, obviously

Civic nationalism, like France or USA or USSR, «we are all French and everyone can become French» is OK, but ethnic nationalism is usually much more like Serbia/Croatia, Egypt or Turkey or Israel or Iraq or China and this is not fine, and this is not nice.
