In which case the meaning you subscribe to needs to change urgently and be seen as greatly outdated. Meanings of words evolve over time and certainly 'nationalist' has when it comes to the Welsh.

Yes I have met the type of person you're trying to describe, it was a long time ago. Scarce then and even more rare now. I can't and won't pretend to know every Welsh person but nobody I know can be described that way given the desire for self-governance has all but died out.

If people who ought to know better want to cling to an out-dated expression then fine but they'll rightly get called out for it.
