Why Broad-Based White Nationalism Fails – and How to Fix It

I am a Southern Nationalist first and a White Nationalist second. What does that mean? As a White Nationalist, I subscribe to the idea that all White people – i.e., people who hail from European lineage – maintain their cultural and genetic integrity in perpetuity. I root for all variations of White people to succeed in this regard – whether they are English, French, German, Polish, Hungarian, etc. As a Southern Nationalist, I specifically support the cultural and genetic integrity of a unique White Christian ethnic group within the geographic confines of the current United States. These two distinctions do not have to conflict, yet for some, they do. Many believe that the current worldwide assault on White Identity requires a unification to defend from a distinct threat. Those detractors of ethno-nationalism state that “Judeo-Bolshevism” and “Globalism” are synonymous and requires a united front. Whereas I agree with the root cause of the issue, I do not believe pan-White unification can work.

To begin, Whites are at war whether they like it or not. Whereas this war has not yet manifested itself in distinctly racial violence by Whites, there is no question that violence is being perpetrated primarily by one side – so-called “people of color” (POCs) against Whites. To date, and based on statistical evidence, I have seen very little indication of Whites targeting POCs just because they are POCs. Addressing that latter point for those who may scoff at my suggestion, in recent memory, White gunmen appear to have targeted “others” in some high-profile recent but isolated cases:  August 2019, Hispanics at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas (23 fatalities); March 2019, Muslims in Christchurch, New Zealand (51 fatalities); October 2018, Jews in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (11); June 2015, blacks in Charleston, South Carolina (9).  (The white shooter of Asian massage parlors in March 2021, appears to have been motivated by anti-prostitution, not anti-Asian sentiment.)

Why is any of this important? I want to ensure we have a clear picture as to why White Nationalists rightfully feel the way they do. The variety of high-profile cases often focused upon by the mainstream media as evidence of a global “White Nationalist Threat” ignores the astounding seventeen-to-one violent targeting of blacks upon Whites that is represented in FBI violent crime statistics monitored by publications such as American Renaissance. Whereas the FBI reports that 48.5% of racial bias victims were black versus 15.7 who were White, they neglect to distinguish the difference between the nature of the crimes. The overwhelming number of anti-black crimes were reported as “acts of intimidation” (i.e., someone called the black person a naughty word and they called the police). It is also unclear who perpetrated these anti-black bias crimes – Hispanics (who are lumped in with generic Whites), Arabs (who are also lumped in with generic Whites), or Asians. The overwhelming number of anti-White crimes, however, were violent crimes – assault, murder, and sexual assault – by one demographic cohort, blacks. In other words, despite a handful of high-profile shootings by White gunmen – the majority of which did not involve blacks – there is a clear genocide of Whites occurring in the West and ignored by our elected officials, media, and so-called advocates. Donald Trump, for example, could not tell us enough as to how amazing he was at black employment while simultaneously letting them burn entire, previously White cities to the ground. 

Cumulatively, I see the threat that all White Nationalists see. Furthermore, we agree that our adversary is a tribal entity that is deeply engrossed in every facet of governance, finance, and the media. That tribal entity need not be repeated. Why? Because it is more important to get this message out than it is to “name them.”  Sometimes, we must work within the margins to have a greater impact. That stated, their names are easy to decipher. For those who do not know, simply do some investigating as to the mechanisms of power and then you can decipher who are the true opponents of White Christian Civilization.

Yet, despite all of this, generic White Nationalism is bound to fail. The problem with White Nationalism is that it lacks homogeneity. We are not the same. Yes, we have the same antagonists, but our perspectives, values, and identities differ dramatically. Whereas we may respect certain ideals due to a shared European moral composition, the differences are deep enough to create irreconcilable rifts.

Armies require homogeneity to win. There is a reason the United States has not won a war since 1945 – it is no longer the same United States. In 1945, one could find distinctions between urbanites and ruralites in the U.S. military, but the U.S. military was predominantly White and overwhelmingly Christian. Small group cohesion was maintained by virtue of regional training facilities. Thus, units were typically from the same relative geographic area. Training would then break the unit down to a loyal, small group, before reassembled in larger and larger units – companies, battalions, regiments, etc. When they say you “fight for the man to your left and your right,” this is the dynamic they are describing. That sense of loyalty is even easier to foment when the man to your left and right are from the same hometown, the same state, and/or shares a great deal in common with your personal upbringing. That is not to say that the U.S. Army or Marine Corps in 1943 did not have units comprised of New Yorkers and Georgians. They did. But the cultural distinctions were less dramatic in 1943 among Anglo-Saxon, Germanic, and Celtic-Protestant Whites who still dominated the U.S. at that time. Fast forward, and with each successive decade of war, the U.S. military becomes less effective as its founding stock becomes less noticeable in the armed services. In other words, blacks from Chicago are less likely to effectively fight alongside Whites from Alabama – as witnessed in the Vietnam War.

Worse, the U.S. military’s lack of success can be largely attributed to differing outlooks on political and cultural goals between regional political groups. The U.S. political class remains largely White. Yet, White politicians, even within the same political party, see end goals that differ amongst each other, often representing the interests of their respective constituencies and financial backers. Add women to the mix, and you add a whole different dimension to the confused landscape of war, culture, and politics.

This all leads me back to White Nationalism. As stated earlier, we are in a struggle. That is undeniable. But the cultural outlooks of achieving survival and the ability to communicate strategic need between various White ethno-nationalist groups differs dramatically. I have personally experienced this dynamic. I have written things that have made Southerners nod in agreement while infuriating Eastern Europeans. I do not wish harm to Eastern Europeans. I consider these Eastern Europeans to be allies in a broader campaign for racial survival. However, it is clear that their perspectives and our perspectives differ as it pertains to those set against us and how to handle them.

Furthermore, communication regarding strategic clarity is also critical in ethno-nationalist management. Despite centuries of deep-seated animosities, many Irish Nationalists sympathize with Anglo Nationalists struggling to maintain English identity while Great Britain invites its own suicide by means of demographic replacement. These same Irish Nationalists see the threat to their own home country and its embrace of ethnic suicide. Yet, many Irish Nationalists have a hard time setting aside history to sympathize with Scots-Irish Protestants who are largely the target of demographic exchange, in which London is sending the largest proportional number of migrants to historically Protestant sections of Northern Ireland. Poles and Germans… Serbs and Croats… Spaniards and Basques… Southerners and Yankees… legitimate historical grievances make cooperation hard and furthermore, make broad based cohesion under a central command even harder.

Consequently, broad based White Nationalism is likely to fail because we simply do not have time to attempt to bridge genuine divides. No one is going to unify all of us under a single banner. Despite what some sociopaths and their sycophants may personally believe, there will never be a single leader marching Whites into a Reconquista. Even Adolf Hitler agreed with my sentiment. Hitler never sought to conquer Europe, despite the lies told by the History Channel. He sought to rebuild the natural borders of German-speaking Europe under one banner, while leaving other nation-states to their own devices. Vichy, for example, after the defeat of France, was remarkably independent as it pertained to domestic affairs. Italy was clearly independent until its defenses fell. Hitler, and by extension, the National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP), never believed that their system was one-sized-fits-all. Broader White Nationalists should learn from them.

So, what is the solution? It is my opinion that the various ethno-nationalist groups would be advised to consider delegations for the sake of coordination and cooperation, while respecting each other’s sovereignty. This would take extraordinary courage and humility. 

First, it would require individuals to meet in person, potentially exposing one another to doxxing. If we want to succeed, we must eventually get past that fear. Perhaps choosing those who are doxxed and financially independent as initial representatives to various groups of ethno-nationalists would be a first step in this regard. Without real life coordination and cooperation, we will get nowhere. The annual AmRen Conference would probably be a good place at which to host a set aside conference for just such a meeting.

Second, this needs to be a sober exercise led by committed advocates. The grifters and known political hacks need to be excluded from such a congress. This should be an exercise of individuals who are known within the broader dissident community and chosen by their peers to represent them. Initial conversations should focus on group campaigning, financial support, organizational management, and political cooperation. 

Third, there needs to be an understanding that any such congress would likely result in some form of government infiltration. That would mean, such a group would have to be highly guarded regarding any communications. Anyone who argues for violent acts or criminality would have to immediately become disassociated. That is not to say they will not try (which is one of the reasons you need experienced dissidents who have a little less to lose). That is also not to say that violent actions are not already perpetrated against our people. But the focus of such a congress needs to be one in which the participants stick to topics that will not sink the ship in its maiden voyage. Do not gift any ammunition to global government to sink it. This is still a movement in its infancy.

Fourth, any group would have to recognize that all of the participants are White Nationalists second.  It would be comprised of Southern Nationalists, Irish Nationalists, French Nationalists, Finnish, Greek, German, etc., etc. The desire for pan-White cooperation would have to transcend the desire for pan-White unification. No titular head would be the next “Supreme Leader.” Rather, leaders and conference chairs would have to focus on organizational objectives – one step at a time.

One final thought in response to the White Nationalist “do something” crowd, before concluding. Many on the Right are angry – rightfully so. They want action. They want to fedpost. I see their comments on Gab and Telegram all the time. I ask those individuals to take a step back and seriously ask themselves the following question: “Do you want revenge or an enduring change for the betterment of your people?”

Revenge is fleeting. If you go out in a blaze of glory, what have you done to build an enduring movement? If you commit murder or some other immoral act, what have you accomplished that will last into the twenty-first century and beyond? Where are the political systems that will serve your people… the diplomatic corps… the medical services… the organized defense… the food stores… the supply chains? 

For those Americans reading this and pointing at Lexington, Concord, and quoting Jefferson’s “Tree of Liberty” – remember that the Continental Congress met for years addressing these matters. They had in-state houses of burgesses from which to draw upon for decades prior to hostilities. The Irish? Sixteen failed attempts at an armed solution to British occupation before they stopped and built the Irish Republican Brotherhood. The Germans? The successes of the NSDAP did not happen because of the Beer Hall Putsch; the NSDAP meticulously organized to win local rather than national elections. Revolutions do not happen in a vacuum. Enduring revolutions are often bloodless, as we saw with the collapse of the Soviet Union and most of the satellite states that reclaimed their sovereignty.

In sum, it is time to get past the idea that generic White Nationalism will succeed as a movement. Let us embrace ethnic realities and act within a framework that can be managed. Just because we are different does not mean we cannot labor together for our collective survival and along common needs. We need to do better. We need to do more. All of that begins with a recognition that our differences should be respected.
