I posted that quote to point out that Hitler obviously didn’t think of himself as just a German nationalist. His sentiment sounds remarkably like what we today call white nationalism.

Yup. That was what I took you to be saying, and that was what I commented upon in reply. (That is to say, I wasn’t commenting one way or another upon your own views, which I largely recalled from comments past.) And I still don’t think fender will listen!

@Richard: Thanks for letting me know you like my comments. It’ll give me some incentive to keep writing them!

Hi Igor

Great comments. Not just here under this article, but elsewhere on T.O.O.

In the past I have looked at a few old archived T.O.O. articles from a couple years ago, and I remember noticing your comments and being impressed by them.

You are one of those people whose comments totally (or at least almost totally) resonate with me.

This might sound selfish, but I really like seeing someone who expresses some of my values and thoughts the way you do, better than I can.

People keep saying that Ann Coulter is extremely attractive, and I’ve personally never seen it. She has always looked like a dude in drag to me. I never thought Sarah Palin was particularly attractive, either. Am I seriously alone on this?

No, you’re not alone. I don’t find Coulter physically attractive in the slightest (though I probably wouldn’t go so far as to say she looks like a tranny).

Palin is alright. She was particularly good-looking in the photos I’ve seen of her as a beauty pagent contestant when she was young. I don’t much care for her style, though — the fake tan, immaculate hair, too much make-up, etc.

“Furthermore NS Germany did not set “White advocacy” or “White nationalism” back because these ideas did not exist back then. National Socialism was a German ideology. It was German nationalism. “

From Hitler’s Reichstag speech of December 11, 1941:

My Deputies! Men of the German Reichstag!

[T]his struggle, which became obviously unavoidable in the early months of this year, and which the German Reich, above all, is called upon this time to lead, also greatly transcends the interests of our own people and nation. When the Greeks once stood against the Persians, they defended more than just Greece. When the Romans stood against the Carthaginians, they defended more than just Rome. When the Roman and Germanic peoples stood together against the Huns, they defended more than just the West. When German emperors stood against the Mongols, they defended more than just Germany. And when Spanish heroes stood against Africa, they defended not just Spain, but all of Europe as well. In the same way, Germany does not fight today just for itself, but for our entire continent.

And it is an auspicious sign that this realization is today so deeply rooted in the subconscious of most European nations that they participate in this struggle, either with open expressions of support or with streams of volunteers.

I guess this review is interesting in the sense that it informs us as to what’s happening in pop culture and mainstream politics, but why the fawning tone? Is Coulter “one of us”? Obviously not. What’s to be gained from blurring the line between professional conservatism and authentic nationalism?

It’s a mistake to think that Coulter and her ilk are some great “gateway” to racial nationalism or “white advocacy.” I come from a liberal family. To the extent that I wasn’t apolitical, my background was listening to anarcho-punk bands like Crass and the Dead Kennedys as a teenager, to reading conspiracy theorists like Bill Cooper, David Icke, and Noam Chomsky as a young adult. It was stumbling across the transcript of a William Pierce broadcast on usenet that led to my awakening. After that, I stopped stumbling; many years have shown to me that what Pierce said was essentially correct, and I’ve never gone back to the half-truths peddled by conspiracy salesmen like Icke and Alex Jones.

It’s a grave mistake to believe that people from a conservative background are more likely to embrace nationalism than others, and that they thus should be specifically targeted. The trouble with conservatives is that they worship authority (note how, for example, in the above piece Coulter is quoted as saying that the word of a cop is more trustworthy than that of an offender). Hence, conservatives will support the status quo. They are basically content with the system as it is and see no reason to change it. That’s why they say things like “support our troops, even if you don’t support the war.” Conservatives hate Obama, but will defend to the death the system that put him into office, and think it’s wonderful that the US should use its military might to impose that system on countries that don’t want it.

What’s called for is unbending honesty, the kind Pierce had, not shrewdness and “wink wink” dog-whistle political rhetoric. I’m glad to see so many posters in the comments here who feel the same way.

And I hardly think it’s elistism or snobbery to come up with a consistent party line and stick with it. That’s like accusing Christians of being elitist snobs for opposing abortion and homosexual marriage; if they didn’t oppose those things, they wouldn’t be true to their faith, and hence wouldn’t be Christian. There are a lot of secondary issues nationalists can disagree on, such as the best monetary or economic system, or the role of government, but there shouldn’t be any disagreement on the fundamental points that define what they are; if there’s disagreement on the fundamentals, then someone is on the wrong team.

Ann Coulter is a conservative, not a nationalist. As others have pointed out, she’s a pressure valve to allow the white public to vent its steam without addressing any of the real underlying problems. A woman who collects a paycheck for spewing out a bunch of half-truths topped off with a reaffirmation that “racism” is bad is hardly worthy of respect.

I, on the other hand, hope to catch a glimpse of a country practically free of bigotry.

Me too! I hope to catch a glimpse of a country free of race-denialist bigotry, a country free of anti-White bigotry, a country free of PC bigotry, a free White country where Whites are free to pursue their own group interests!
