The attitudes between white men and women towards preserving America’s demographics are not grossly disparate.
Nihilism and apathy rather than anti-white indoctrination may be the greatest barrier to mobilizing the youth.
The Homeland Institute’s second poll on the Great Replacement garnered a lot of attention. In fact, it received over 44,000 views on Telegram alone.
The answers we found prompted further questions. For example, several people expressed an interest in how the answers broke down by sex and age, especially regarding the question of support or opposition to preserving America’s white majority. We decided to do a follow-up report to address the two most common questions we received: How did support for preserving the white majority break down by sex and age?
When asked “If you support preserving the white majority in America, how important of a political issue is it to you?”, we found that the difference between men and women was not grossly disparate.
Respondents could answer “the most important,” “very important,” “somewhat important,” “I don’t know,” “I neither support not oppose preserving the white majority in America,” and “I oppose preserving the white majority in America.”
The percentage of men who felt that preserving the white majority in America was at least somewhat important was 36.6%, compared to 28.9% of women. 20.0% of men oppose preserving the white majority in America, versus 25.9% of women. 7.6% of men answered they “don’t know,” as did 10.6% of women. Almost the same percent of men and women answered that they neither support nor oppose preserving the white majority.

Ultimately, men are indeed more inclined to be concerned about demographic decline than women, and women are more likely to actively support the replacement of whites. But the difference is nowhere near as stark as one might expect, at least given certain online discourse which at times vehemently denigrates white women.
This, combined with how a Pew Research poll in 2017 found that 12% of white men were in an interracial marriage as opposed to 10% of white women, strongly suggests that embittered anti-white woman narratives do not accurately reflect reality.[2] At best, they exaggerate anti-white tendencies among white women.
While there is certainly a gap between white men and women in demographic attitudes, it is not an insurmountable rift. This should come as encouraging news to young white men who are worried that they may not be able to find a suitable wife.
Next, we broke down the results for the same question of “If you support preserving the white majority in America, how important of a political issue is it to you?” by age cohort. There were not enough respondents over 65 to speak confidently about them. However, we can still review the other age cohorts.
The number of those for whom preserving the white majority was at least slightly important fell somewhat with age from 35.6% among those 45-64, to 33.8% among those 30-44, and to 29.8% among those 18-29. Interestingly, the number of those who actively oppose preserving the white majority dipped with generation Z. 23.1% of the 45-64 bracket and 23.9% of the 30-44 bracket were in opposition, but only 18.1% of the 18-29 bracket.
Only 9 out of 154 Republicans across all age brackets were in opposition, which makes them difficult to analyze. But youth strongly correlated with a decline in anti-white attitudes among Independents. And it precipitously dropped off among white Democrats from 54.5% of Democrats 45-64, to 45.3% of Democrats 30-44, to 26.5% of Zoomer Democrats.
Among the youth, the number of those who neither oppose nor support preserving white demographics rose from 32.2% among the 45-64 bracket to 33.8% of the 30-44 bracket, and then jumped to 39.4% of the 18-29 bracket.
These numbers strongly suggest that the greatest obstacle in reaching the white youth probably isn’t anti-white indoctrination, but rather nihilism, irony, and apathy. Perhaps a good strategy would be to explain to the youth that try as hard as they might to ignore politics, politics is not going to ignore them. Every anti-white tragedy is a bitter lesson in this truth.
Yet, nihilism is a double-edged sword: Why should anti-racism, globalism, and diversity be sacred cows when nothing else is sacred? When are the Marxist deconstructors going to finally deconstruct themselves? It is also hard to blame the Zoomers for being nihilistic given the state of society, and especially after the culture wars and 2020.
While it is possible to lean into nihilism, it may be an even better strategy to give the Zoomers something affirmative and inspirational to believe in. It is doubtful that the mainstream GOP party platform will ever accomplish this. But those who are willing to entertain more radical ideas certainly might.
Part of the demographic war on whites is sowing division along various fault lines such as class, gender, and age. Another aspect is demoralizing the youth and sabotaging family formation. Despite such efforts, however, whites are more unified across the sexes and age cohorts than one might expect on questions of preserving the white majority.

The white male miscegenation rate vs woman is misleading. White men default to miscegenation because they are being locked out of normal relationships. Yes, I do speak from experience and observation. It is way easier to get with a nonwhite woman and be accepted by her family. The difference is it feels so unnatural that I could never procreate with one. Yet at the same time, having experimented with ‘dating’ (whatever that even means anymore) a nonwhite a year ago, and feeling ‘wanted’ for the first time in a long time, and also being treated palpably better by the public simply because I am seen with a woman (almost regardless of what she looks like – unreal how society has developed in the last decade), I can see why more white men are just giving in and settling down with them. There is no incentive to be ‘loyal’ to a culture that isn’t loyal to you. Being a WN often means being a disciplined, mocked incel. That’s not a winning formula. It makes zero sense, especially when white women do not posses this same disposition. They absolutely aren’t loyal to white men. They are the most promiscuous of all women and increasingly anti-natalist/anti-monogamous.
Even worse, I still hear married fathers in this movement make the Darwinian argument about it being simply sexual selection (women choosing), as if we should just go along with it since most men are not meant to reproduce. You’ve had your kids and now you want to consolidate society as it is to protect your investment. Sorry, not how it has ever worked. White men have always conquered nonwhite women until this movement and the National Socialists before, who still thirsted enough for Josephine Baker to be spied on. So society as it is now in a feminist-gynocentric utopia is as unstable and mutable as any other epoch, and won’t last in this current form much longer.
You are a glowing example for why the pro-White movement will remain a fringe online thing until it is too late.
Weirdos like you that want to tie their personal cringe philosophy with the movement drag it down and put off 90+% of normie women and men away from what you have to offer.
Any White state with enough material prosperity to permit a significant chunk of its population to have the time for opinions on politics won’t be a homogenous fascist project like you wish it to be. It will be a “liberal democracy” that you hate with a fractured political landscape. Your fringe demented ideas that you attach to the White idea are making ppl to choose between an idea they might sympathize with (an ethnically homogenous State) and everything else they despise that you also espouse. And the very few people who would choose the former despite (or alongside) the latter are a tiny online clique. The rest would rather live in a multiethnic state where they keep their freedoms (and form local ethnic communities instead).
What ‘cringe philosophy’? What ‘fringe demented ideas’? Mr Clifton was merely lamenting the loss of a culture in which white men and women were encouraged by all aspects of their society to get married and make it work. He also called out, quite reasonably, arguments that put the blame mainly on men themselves. Without legally and socially enforced monogamy and a degree of preferential treatment ( at least no enforced equity ) in education and the workforce, many fewer men will have the opportunity to marry a woman of their own race and class.
Your unsupported ad hominem attacks are unconvincing.
I’m so glad that we have data and analysts looking at that data in a constructive way.
Looking at the data seems to strongly suggest that a long-term goal of a pro-White movement should be to create a welcoming environment to every White who is ‘concerned’ about the treatment and prospects of White people under the anti-White regime.
Youthful ‘nihilism’ turns into idealistic enthusiasm when the young find something gratifying to do.
I suggest that ‘being pro-White’ is exactly that gratifying thing to do.
But in order for the pro-White position to offer such gratification, it needs to scrape off the intellectual and cultural cruft that has accumulated on it during the long dark night of cultural exile (much of it self-inflicted).
The pro-White movement needs to be a movement where every pro-White White can feel they’ve ‘come home’.
The anti-White regime in which every White has been embedded since WWI has done all of us harm. One of those forms of that harm is divisiveness regarding sub-racial distinctions that have not served the interests of Whites, certainly not in the long run.
However, while embracing an ‘ecumenical’ view of the pro-White position, we need an ethos that de-centers the ‘fringe’ elements that have for decades attempted to piggy-back their narrow political and cultural concerns onto that of concerned Whites.
