A real nationalist would be proud of his American origins, which are defined by White Americans, rather than generically “White” first, where American is secondary.

The White nationalists biggest weakness is that there are roughly 63 familial nations in the White race, and he belongs to a distinct nation, the American nation, but the problem is that races by themselves aren’t nations.

He rejects his nationality for a global abstract that is biologically real, but is contextually redundant.

It’s like White nationalism is in a way White imperialism stemming from the Western worlds imperial, universalist core which is the U.S.. Seemingly incapable of self-aware nationhood, yet being uniquely American in outlook.

I have to wonder if this is how the Romans saw themselves at the height the empire. Incapable of imagining a uniquely Roman nation, while their universal projection of Roman identity across the European continent was itself a distinctly Roman view.

I find the success of Patriot Front speaks to the deep need for a distinctly American identity, ethnos and nationality that is separate from the global responsibilities and implications of empire they’ve been sucked into since FDR. A desire to return to Teddy Roosevelt’s USA.
