I think there is overlap between the set of white suprematists and the set of Republicans.
In my lifetime, I’m 53, the GOP has always been a white nationalist movement and it has always relied on suppressing black voting.
Glad I am voting for Trump this year, I would not want to be a part of this authoritarian regime that is shutting down businesses subjectively, mandating what you wear, where you can go and picking who based on their own ideals can assemble and who cannot assemble.
I don’t see being a nationalist as a problem. What is wrong with wanting the best for your nation and it’s people ?
.
Well, that is a profoundly ignorant understanding of history and what white nationalism is, let me guess you’re a Republican? Republicanism relies on its base being stupid and not terribly interested in changing that state. Every Republican is a mix of evil and stupid.
Ok, I admit that I am ignorant. Could you guide me to information?
It’s not my job to educate every racist fucking moron on the Internet.

They don’t want whats best for the nation. They want whats best for a narrow range of people. its no different than the white people who supported Jim Crow in the south. They didn’t want whats best for the nation, they wanted a respectful democracy for themselves and a brutal dictatorship for everyone else.
In the west we are supposed to follow documents like the constitution and the universal declaration of human rights. The Right in the US does not value those things. They want white nationalist protofascism.
The second sentence does not mean what you think the first sentence means. And nationalism is not patriotism. FFS, you’re on a computer so you do have access to a dictionary.
“In December 2015, Godwin commented on the Nazi and fascist comparisons being made by several articles about Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, saying: “If you’re thoughtful about it and show some real awareness of history, go ahead and refer to Hitler when you talk about Trump, or any other politician.””
“Unite the Right” organizer Jason Kessler Is not the GOP.
His wiki page doesn’t have the word Republican in it.
It’s also getting too hard to keep them alive. Who politicizes wearing face masks during a pandemic? Only fucking Republican morons, non-contributing trash.
Jesus Christ, asshole, nobody is mandating what you can wear. Did someone make fun of your MAGA hat? My heart bleeds for you.
As to the rest of your idiotic rant, well, we’re having a pandemic. Those of us with more than a fourth-grade education are aware of this. We’re doing our best to deal with it, but mental defectives like you are making it difficult.
Please, please, stay home. You can spend all your time jerking off to your fantasy of an ignorant, shady and falied New York real estate developer pouring cum down your throat.
There’s an important distinction to be kept in mind.
Yes, there is a mandate on what you can wear in some states NM issues more restrictive health order to combat virus surge - Albuquerque Journal
And some states allow and encourage blm protests and riots but scorn people protesting their business being shutdown indefinitely.
Been traveling around the west the last 2 month visiting friends and family.
Thank you.
I made a mistake, white nationalism is not the same as nationalism.
I think people should want the best for their country but only if it is best for all the people in the country.
If invading your neighboring country is what is best for your country, do you think that the you should?
That’s what I’m worried about, as far as nationalism. It’s fine to worry most about your own problems, and work to advance your own interests, but not when it comes at the expense of others.
Correct. But the fact that white nationalism is worse doesn’t mean that nationalism isn’t potentially perilous. I prefer to aspire to patriotism.
Here’s the thing. Generally laudable characteristics are pretty much always aspirational, when it comes to self-characterization. That is, for instance, if someone announces “I AM [generous/intelligent/hard-working/fill-in-the-blank]”, the claim is inherently suspect, as such qualities defy legitimate self-evaluation, and the announcement should replace “I AM” with “I WISH TO BE SEEN/THOUGHT OF AS.”
But it’s quite easy to take someone at face value when they say “I AM a nationalist.” Can you imagine someone saying “I ASPIRE to be a nationalist”? It’s absurd.
THAT’S the difference between nationalism and patriotism.
