On American Ethnonationalism
When the question of ethnonationalism comes up, many are often tempted to say that the United States cannot have a “genuine” type of it because of the somewhat “artificial” nature of the USA, planted as colonies and then filled with immigrants which were (originally) from NW Europe, then the rest of Europe, prior to 1965... I believe this argument rests on the false premise that race – and only race – determines nationality, which is incorrect. This argument misses the true meaning of what the term ethnos means. Ethnos is a word which was found in nearly all dialects of Greek (Attic, Doric, Koine, etc.) and which originally denoted a body or company of people living together. The term developed the connotative meaning of those who live together and share the same culture, laws, language, etc...
One obvious issue relating to the USA is the fact that the American ethnos which we are speaking of is essentially WHITE America... To this day, our language, religion, legal apparatus, mores, and so forth are essentially Anglo in form...
Non-whites, whether post-1965 immigrants or indigenous blacks, generally do not share this white American culture. Hispanics and Muslims, especially, make concerted efforts to resist assimilation...
... we can discern two more or less distinct “white cultures” in America... “middle America” (i.e. “regular American culture”) and that of the “SWPL” whites... more urbanist and cosmopolitan, progressive, rejects tradition and authority... and makes up the Northeast, the Northern Tier, and the West Coast...
... It’s not “white vs. everyone else,” it’s “normal whites vs. SWPL whites,”...
I’d rather see a united USA centered about a truly shared “normal American” – let’s call it “Amerikaner” – culture...
To see the real divide, merely look at the county-by-county election map from last November [2016]...
... If we’re to see a genuine Amerikaner USA restored, it’ll have to be by dethroning the SWPL culture within its own power centres and converting – eventually by force if necessary – the progressive Left to Amerikaner culture...
