Happy Birthday! Considering it’s Christmas I figure I’ll push back a lil’

Just wanted to ask about” white nationalism “ Is it possible to be a white nationalist and not be racist? In my opinion racism is defining a master race for all others to be subjagated. I don’t think racism is inherent in pride of ethnicity and/or nation. Of course, there are branches on all trees that lead out to an extremity that eventually wilts or snaps. Nick Fuentes and groyper are just so tiring. It’s just hustling a brand.

Anyways, forgive me my trespass and may God bless you and your family. Merry Christmas

I don't know about it being possible to be a self-described white nationalist and not be racist, but there is quite a lot of evidence that the point of diminishing returns on diversity improving society is quite low, at 5-10 you have perhaps small communities that perform specific tasks and then some people who are really well integrated, once it gets much higher you really do have a bunch of competing ethnicities etc.

a lot of the New Right people believe things about race and genetics that are undeniably racist in a value neutral sense, which is to say that is by definition what racism is whether or not you think it is bad.

As has been pointed out, Affirmative Action etc was meant to give a handup to about 12% of society who had been both enslaved and legally excluded from opportunities, and might have worked out decently if they didn't massively open up immigration and then also open it up to women and sexual deviants, leaving it so white men are a disfavored minority for all legal purposes...of course while telling them they're still at an unfair advantage! It's an incredibly bullshit situation that the descendants of people photographed by Jacob Riis have to watch other immigrants be given advantages as soon as they arrived despite that they've never previously been treated [negatively] unfairly in America.

It's very easy to understand why people are angry, especially given that this has always made me angry as well.
