Whilst definitely being different peoples, there is that idea of identity as starting from family, then going to region, then to nation, then to race and civilisation. At this larger level, Germans and Italians do share some commonalities as belonging to Western civilisation. I also wouldn't see the situation of Americans as being that dramatically different, these days at least, to other Anglosphere countries - we are all under the thrall of a liberal intelligentsia pushing our countries in a certain direction. We will have to see if something can be made out of the push against liberalism that is building momentum.Mark Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15961688379656119701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-546691169739642912017-11-11T05:12:42.665+11:002017-11-11T05:12:42.665+11:00Civic nationalism is an oxyomoron, a liberal inven...Civic nationalism is an oxyomoron, a liberal invention. Lauren Rose rejects it in favour of "her own people" but doesn't state who these people are. Does she mean the disparate people grouped under the term "white nationalists" or is she talking about a specific ethnic group?<br /><br />"White nationalism" is another liberal term, invented for the specific purpose of demonisation of white christians. The term "white", synonymous with the caucasian race, includes a wide range of different ethnic groups and religions. Bosnian, Albanian and Uzbek muslims are white as are many Arabs of various different religions. A German has nothing in common with an Italian, just as a Vietnamese has nothing in common with a Thai. Each ethnic group has its own unique characteristics expressed in its own culture, history and politics. One can identify an Italian, a German, a Frenchman, a Spaniard and understand their national characteristics, temperament and culture but what is the definition of an American? Most are mongrels, of mixed ethnicity, with no concept of pedigree, individualistic and ever ready to act as the Judas goat and betray their fellows for a quick buck. Unless some specific white ethnic group takes control of the country, perhaps the original Anglo Saxon founders, the white nationalist group seems to have no coherent agenda and the USA will likely go the same way as South Africa where the conflict and mistrust between Anglos and Afrikaners (who have a stronger sense of identity) has failed to prevent the collapse of the country.<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
