They think it means being a nationalist and being white.

Myers is a 74-year-old activist who has been involved in GOP politics for decades. But the pivotal political moment came when Obama came on the scene. I knew immediately that America was in trouble, he said in an Empower Texans profile.

Oh he knows what it means

If youre gonna be a racist, youre gonna have to be proud of it.

This. If they're open and honest, you know who they are (and usually, what they're up to). If you force them to keep quiet about it, you don't change their attitudes, you just drive them into secrecy where you have no idea what they're doing.

Dont like what he stands for but I will at least give him a little credit for being honest.

The best thing about people who identify as Nazis is that I have no sympathy for them when they get punched.

Nazis are the easiest bad guys in the world to hate. They're comic book villains that actually existed. Anyone who identifies with them unironically is a horrible person.

idk i legitimately believe he thinks he's saying he's a nationalist who's white and has assumed any criticism of "white nationalist" was really a criticism of being "nationalist" so he completely dismissed it as insanity

a really good example of why the burden of understanding information is often on the person giving the information and not the person who is supposed to understand it. like if you're not explaining it right to this guy, it's your fault. he's not going to fix himself and feeling superior about yourself is worthless

If someone is in the public sector they are 100% responsible for understanding something like this. Next.

I called China weird for condoning violence against someone based on a slur. But anything to distract from white supremacists, right? Thats your MO.

yet when people codemn violence in other instances you have no issue calling them a nazi
what happened to "fighting words" the likes of you always harp about? or does this only apply to some skin tones?

I mean, that's LITERALLY true when he's in a position of power. If you fail to make him understand he goes on just fine and it's you that gets screwed. So continue to not accept any blame if it makes you feel better I guess.

He playing an interesting angle. No one is that stupid.

Just like the alt right goes like lol this is just a joke, guys, were just kidding, and its just memes, and just like other supremacists coined its ok to be white (which no one said its not, what they mean is fuck you , people of color) to be ambiguous, and therefore normalize little by little supremacist tropes, this guy is trying to muddy the waters as to what white nationalist means.

This is similar to the gimmick certain CE poster who recently got out of purgatory (hint: named after a MK character) has.

but were suppose to be civil and talk about it and meet them in the middle.

Or it could be because Obama pushed for socialized medicine and tried to confiscate our firearms. I doubt this guy would have though America was in trouble if Herman Cain had won in 2012.

Ah yes, because the left gave Trump a fair shake and wasn't losing it long before Trump's first day in office.

The thing with white nationalism is that I agree with the parts in bold here, nor do I see anything controversial about those parts... just not the part about an exclusively white nation because I don't support segregation.

White nationalism is a type of nationalism or pan-nationalism which espouses the belief that white people are a race[1] and seeks to develop and maintain a white national identity.[2][3][4] Its proponents identify with and are attached to the concept of a white nation.[5] White nationalists say they seek to ensure the survival of the white race, and the cultures of traditionally white ethnic groups.

The issue is that your pet ideology is inexorably linked with racial oppression and genocide. It's a pretty large elephant to willingly ignore.

How does one go about creating a white ethnostate in America anyways?

The white race is going to survive. Non hispanic whites are over 60% of the US population and over 85% of the UK.

Gonna be a while before the so-called "white genocide" that WNs are so terrified about is going to make a dent. And by a while, I mean several hundred years.

Those concerns is reason why some agree with parts of white nationalism, the opposition to white oppression and white genocide... which are good things to oppose.

It's only a matter of time before you go full fashy, so you might as well just cut the bullshit and jump in already.
