(148) In the late 1980s and the beginning of the 1990s, a new Slovene (ethnic and state) nationalism was born. One may see legitimate arguments and reasoning in its tendency for pluralization and democratization, and for greater autonomy within Yugoslavia. In that time, this kind of nationalist ideology was still rather benign, as it contributed to a consensus on key national interests and increased the willingness of people to carry the costs associated with pursuing these ambitions. With passing time, a new, negative nationalism prevailed due to the aforementioned reasons (bloody disintegration of the former state, socioeconomic crisis and the emergence of new nation-states). Its expression was intolerance towards groups and individuals originating in other republics of the former Yugoslavia.
