Nationalism This Week
Israel First or America First?

Greg Johnson

1,165 words

Note: There’s so much to talk about this week that I am doing two “Nationalism This Week” columns. 

Tucker Carlson’s interview with Nick Fuentes has triggered a week-long meltdown of Jews and their conservative defenders. There doesn’t seem to be any end in sight, either. The hysteria is very similar to Trump Derangement Syndrome, except that the sufferers more often have kippahs than quiffs of blue hair.

Joel Berry of the Babylon Bee posted that “Fuentes and Tucker are destroying the Right and greatly hurting our ability to defeat the Left” and “If Nick Fuentes and Zohran Mamdani are the ‘future,’ Christians had better appeal to Heaven and prepare for battle.” Both sides are casting the current Republican infighting as a battle between the legacy of Patrick Buchanan on one side and William F. Buckley, Ronald Reagan, and their cuckservative heirs on the other. For example, Berry also posted Rush Limbaugh’s statement that “Pat Buchanan wants to engage in policies that expand the role of government in people’s lives. He’s not a conservative.” This ironically sounds similar to RINO attacks on Trump. We’re apparently never supposed to wield power. Our role is simply to be a punching bag for the Left.

In a rambling and sanctimonious effort post, Kevin Roberts of the Heritage Foundation denounced Fuentes’ holocaust denial and his other “relentless conspiracy theories that echo the darkest chapters of history.” A quick look at the comments shows that his holocaust guilt card was declined. I doubt he has an alternate form of argumentation.

Rod Dreher virtue signaled about clothes at Auschwitz, which I guess is a nice change from a pile of shoes. He also said “It’s great that so many on the Right are rising up against Groyperism and Jew hatred. But if we don’t provide REAL answers to the serious concerns the alienated young men drawn to live by these lies have, our opposition will go nowhere.” But in his article “Reaching Weimerica’s Lost Boys,” the only solution he offers is high-minded religious platitudes. This tone-policing, Zionist, touchy-feely religious “Right” failed for a reason.

The obese war monger Randy Fine called Tucker the most dangerous anti-Semite in America, saying that “He has chosen to take on the mantle of leader of a modern-day Hitler Youth […] Make no mistake, Tucker is not MAGA.”

Laura Loomer’s post that “Tucker Qatarlson said he hates Bible believing Christians. Good luck to the GOP in 2026 and 2028 if they keep associating with Tucker” received a community note clarifying that he said “Christian Zionists,” not “Bible believing Christians.” I’m not a Christian, but the Christians within our movement are correct in denouncing dispensationalism as a heresy. The “Israel” spoken of in the New Testament is obviously the community of believers, not a meme country founded in 1948.

Ted Cruz said “It’s remarkable, and sad, watching Tucker turn into Nick Fuentes.” The Free Press also ran an article titled “Ted Cruz: The Fight Against Antisemitism Is ‘Existential.’” Of course, Ted Cruz would never say that the fight against anti-white hate is existential. Or even somewhat important. In fact, he would probably denounce it as “woke right.”

Fat try-hard James Lindsay, who is known for desperately spamming the “woke right” meme, posted that rather than an episode of infighting, “What’s happening is an attempted coup by the Carlson–Fuentes wing. They’re not MAGA. They’re trying to take MAGA over or destroy it.”

In a pathetic attempt at gaslighting people into thinking that almost a decade of cancel culture never happened, Misfit Patriot posted, “Nick is on the biggest platform in the world, flys to other peoples shows all the time, and takes super chats every night which is only possible if you have a bank account. Apparently ‘the Jews’ are real bad at canceling people.”

Misfit Patriot also quote-reposted a segment of Ben Shapiro denouncing Tucker and Fuentes, claiming that “Ben meticulously took down Fuentes and Tucker by using their own clips and providing fact based arguments” and “The woke right are a bunch of soft ass bitches.” But as our writer David Zsutty among many others noted in the replies, Ben Shapiro is loath to actually debate Nick Fuentes (or anyone else on our side for that matter).

Finally, Mark R. Levin had a particularly unprofessional and unhinged crash out which does not bear repeating but can be read in full here. It is reminiscent of Richard Spencer’s infamous “kikes and octaroons” rant after Charlottesville.

This campaign against Tucker and Fuentes is backfiring spectacularly.

Tucker and Fuentes, however, are not what this fight is really all about. They are just the messengers. The deeper issue is that for generations, the American Right has put appeasing Jews and protecting Israel ahead of American interests. Those days are ending, but they won’t end without a fight. That fight is now upon us.

Note to Laura Loomer, Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro, Joel Berry, and company: Making “Israel First” a litmus test in an America First political movement was never going to happen. Stop trying to make it happen.

The only place where Israel First makes sense is Israel. If those are your priorities, you need to go there. Otherwise, you are a subversive force and need to be frozen out of American politics.

Jews pretend that the charge of “dual loyalties” is a vicious slur when actually it is an undeserved compliment. It isn’t possible to put both America and Israel “first,” because American interests inevitably differ from Israeli interests. Thus, when forced to choose, you show which country really comes first. That is where your true loyalty lies.

America has serious problems, and the time and resources necessary to fix them are in short supply. We simply cannot afford to allow Netanyahu and American Jews to seize the wheel of state from Trump whenever one of their wily schemes blows up in their faces.

It didn’t have to come to this. You could have accepted that the best you can hope for is for Israel to be second or third after America in American foreign policy calculations. You could have worked hard to merit that status. Instead, you let your ethnonarcissism run amok. Now you are threatening to destroy the MAGA movement and the Republicans if they don’t cater to you.

But, again, Israel First was never going to be possible in an America First political movement. So who is being subversive here: Israel-First Jews or America Firsters like Tucker Carlson?

Israel First was only possible among mainstream conservative civic nationalists who accepted the idea that “America” is just a list of values, i.e., the latest Republican platform. Those politics are dying with the Boomers. The future of the American Right is nationalism and populism. America is not an idea that Jews and big business can redefine every few years to suit their interests. America is the homeland of a living breathing people, who naturally think that their government should put our interests first.

Israel First is not possible in an America First administration.

    This is a great summary of what has been going on, Dr. Johnson, and what we need to keep focusing on.  Thank you, and I’m looking forward to your Part 2.  So much has been happening!  And, I appreciated what you said about “the Christians within our movement” and the nature of “the community of believers.”  I think that the dustup over the Carlson-Fuentes affair will shake at least a few more people out of their Christian-Zionist delusions.

    In reply to Levin, Shapiro, Loomer, and all their useful idiots like Cruz and Dreher, I would just like to quote one of the regular, highly-respected figures in the old Takimag comments section, who was known as Boris:

    “HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”

    Watching the Israel-Firsters’ meltdown and the replies by the stalwarts from our side has been entertaining.  And in some cases instructive.  There was some hope that the old Heritage Foundation was taking a harder line in a more MAGA, nationalist direction than before, but as you noted, their chief, Kevin Roberts recently caved in regarding Carlson-Fuentes.  Can’t say I’m surprised, and I know that many here won’t be either.

    The goats are being separated from the sheep again.

    You mention an article by The Free Press. Is there a more obvious example of an Israel plant than Bari Weiss? Here you have someone who is educated at a yeshiva and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She then goes to Columbia and spends her time documenting the “antisemitism” of the professors there. From graduation it’s immediately on to the Wall Street Journal and New York Times. At the Times, there’s this highly publicized supposed argument where all the articles about it from the normally liberal are like “Weiss is just so brilliant and principled in defending conservatism that she had to leave the Times.” She founds The Free Press, which no one reads and 99% of Americans I’m sure have never heard of, but puff pieces keep rolling in about how bold and important it is. Larry Ellison acquires it for $150 million so he can install Weiss as the head of CBS. Trump just called her “an amazing person” on 60 Minutes.

    Weiss’ supposed conservatism is always discussed. The Times of Israel once called her a “hero to American conservatives.” But look at her actual policies and lifestyle. She openly told Joe Rogan that she’s a “left leaning centrist.” At the Times, she wrote articles in favor of miscegenation and blending cultures, which she said positioned her against the left because they would call that cultural appropriation. She seems to be one of these people who say they’re anti woke because ever thinking about race in any way is woke (unless in the context of Israel of course!) While at the Times, she chose a clip of a trans character when asked to share something depicting her values. She was openly anti Trump, blaming him for the synagogue shooting in 2018. She was in a long-term lesbian relationship with insufferable actress Kate McKinnon before now being married to one of her female employees from The Free Press.

    Nothing about Bari Weiss is conservative, obviously. It’s relevant to bring this up on this article because she’s really the same type of person as Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin – these single issue Zionists who we are repeatedly told oppose liberals but we never see that manifest in any meaningful way. This is what they want to present to us as right wing political action. What’s remarkable is that they’re so unwilling to entertain actual right wing thought that they can’t even bring themselves to put up a veneer of anything. Ironically, I have no doubt that if in 2015 they had said “Let’s deport all nonwhites here and all non Jews in Israel,” the Zionist project would have many friends in America. But they couldn’t even bring themselves to pretend to care about whites.

      Recently Weiss asked both Woody Allen and Jerry Seinfeld if they agreed that the era from 1945 until recently was the heyday of Jews, a Jewish holiday from history—a holiday which has now ended.

        I think America’s most philo-semetic time period ended about 10-15  years ago, with the rise of internet news, and the circulation of previously censored history.

        Jews had quite a run up until then.

        I look forward to your evaluation of the Democrat sweep in Tuesday’s elections. Race was a major factor, especially in NYC.

        —

        Israel First was only possible among mainstream conservative civic nationalists who accepted the idea that “America” is just a list of values, i.e., the latest Republican platform. Those politics are dying with the Boomers. The future of the American Right is nationalism and populism.

        —

        Of the Baby Boomer generation myself, by virtue of being a ’47 model, don’t count me in with GOP civic nationalists. Republicans are nearly as bad as Democrats when it comes to issues of race and Israel.

        America is terminally lost as is Western civilization. What’s left is our race remnant, and it needs help that the present electoral system of mass democracy will not save any more than will the Constitution or Christianity, or the big tent Right will.

        To me populism is for the disgruntled masses, including non-Whites. Whites don’t need populist leaders. They need nationalist leaders, yes, but racial nationalists not civic nationalists. Lest we forget, Oxford Dictionary tells us:

        civic nationalism – noun, a political attitude of devotion to and vigorous support for one’s country combined with a feeling of shared community with fellow citizens, especially as contrasted with a similar attitude based on ethnicity, race, or religion

        Post-war America, a still White society that we Boomers pretty much enjoyed, is now dying fast — multiracial and thoroughly Judaized. Someone asked if it’s too late. No,  it’s never too late for the determined remnant to survive and rebuild separately.

        Good luck to young generations of American Whites who want to preserve our race. They must have the will to withdraw from the present mess with a purpose and separate racially or the race dies.

    I remember back in 2016 how the original America First movement (I mean this iteration. I know about Lindbergh, et al.) was basically Tucker’s Fox News audience, and Levin, Shapiro, and Cruz were treating Trump as if he were Satan himself.  When Trump won, the neo-cons once again shape-shifted and became his most sycophantic supporters, and now they’re trying to push out Tucker once and for all. There seems to be no Hebrew word for “shameless.”

        I listened to conservative talk radio on the real radio, not the Internet, for a brief time in 2010-12 before I got disgusted, but the Levin show had to be lying about its popularity. Michael Savage (yes, I know, Weiner) was so clearly more popular and better, but they replaced him with Ben Shapiro, followed by Levin. Savage was funny and even kind of nice, with a pleasing radio voice, and once you got over that ridiculous Jackie Mason accent he used, and his bad Bob Grant imitation rants that he would turn on and off like a faucet, it was all good. He would innocently say at the beginning of the trans disaster “you don’t have to have an operation, just be gay,” and it sounded like he meant it, like he cared about the confused weirdos and didn’t want them to self-harm.

        Then overnight they replaced Savage in my “market” with Ben Shapiro. Good night, I switched it off immediately and never returned.

            Michael Savage was a staple on the talk radio station I frequently tuned in to back when I had a daily long commute to work in a large metropolitan area.  I had only started to come awake from the liberal-by-default brainwashing from my early years, and Savage was quite bracing stuff after my years of hearing NPR drones calmly delivering mental morphine.  He is the first person I ever heard criticizing John McCain, and did so in a way that was, indeed, savage.  It was shocking stuff for me at the time, but it certainly changed my perspective and was one of the things that started my journey.

            Screeching Mark Levin was also part of the journey, but only briefly.  He was just embarrassing to listen to, especially when interacting with his callers; and even as green as I was to political realities, I felt a real frustration at how he controlled the message — accelerating all the way up to race reality, but then slamming on the CivNat brakes!

    Jews pretend that the charge of “dual loyalties” is a vicious slur…

    One hundred years ago, English Catholic writer Hillaire Belloc named that two-facedness as the trigger point for host nations to eventually respond with force to the Jews living among them.  People react badly to being deceived in that way, when your supposed countryman turns out to have been an unfriendly alien all along.

    In The Jews (1922), he pleaded for admission, on both sides, of the reality that no matter in which nation they lived, they acted like and were in fact a separate and distinct nation, in but not of their host people. He thought this honesty might mitigate or even end the history of violent European-Jewish relations.

    Clearly no one listened then. And the Jews, at least, are still not listening. History is unforgiving of slow learners

      It’s so weird; it’s like America after ww2 thought the world was a fresh pink baby to rear better and kinder this time. It must be that our minds can’t handle too much outside our time, requiring a rigorous class of intellectuals or at least like a priestly class to remind everyone of how things have always been.

       

      I was  watching no direction home the bob not-his-real-name Dylan movie and then actor (who actually may play the guitar pretty well) played Dylan’s first original song , song to woody. It has a line in it that always struck me funny but now that I’m older I wonder if it didn’t capture that time : late fifties early 60s . It was, “it’s a funny old world that’s comin’ along” then it goes on to say “it’s sick and it’s hungry it’s tired it’s torn, it looks like it’s dying and it’s hardly been born”

       

      the world as  “comin along” implies it hasn’t lived up to Jewish standards, or the new post ww2 standards. But then he thte list of bad things but sandwiched with the “new world “ thing again: “hardly been born”

       

      I just don’t get that “reset” that the 50s abd 60s had on the world; because then you had the so called Vatican2 council which was suppose to be a “new Pentecost”

       

      smarter men then I here could chime in for the reasons for this clean slate and bizarrely naive optimism of this time. But old lessons are getting learned indeed.

      I’ve read a lot of Gilbert Kieth but I need to read some of that other famous distributist too. Thanks for reminding me about beloc

      I always mean to read more Belloc. Very prolific author who would write on anything. I came across him first with his military bio of Napoleon. The maps in that book are the best battle maps I’ve seen. Don’t know if he drew them or hired someone. Simple, almost schematic, but tied so closely to the battle narrative. Same with his book about all (?) the wars and battles fought within the island of Great Britain. That featured the same quality maps as the Napoleon one. Both of these books were public library discards. The same library claims on their catalog they still have 12 or 15 Belloc essay collections. Gotta check them out before they’re discarded too.

      In Theodore Herzl’s book The Jewish State, which started the whole modern Zionist enterprise, he actually agreed that the anti-Semites of Europe had a valid point about the Jewish presence in their countries. They really were a potential fifth column that would always present a danger to their host countries.

      Herzl’s solution to this problem, as he saw it, was to allow the Jews to form their own state in Palestine so that they would become a “normal” nation, just like an Englishman in England or a Frenchman in France.

      As we all know, Herzl got his wish.

      As we all can see, it hasn’t worked out as he promised.

          If all Jews moved to Israel it would have failed even sooner than it already currently is. A parasitic people cannot exist without a host.

    I think Jewish power might’ve been able to retrench itself if it wasn’t for the absolute hysteria they’ve displayed, but I guess they just can’t help themselves. It’s been a repetitive cycle of someone calling out Jewish power, Jewish power making itself obvious in an attempt to destroy said person, and then another person using that to call out Jewish power, etc. I just love seeing it ratchet up, and the Zionists completely losing their composure and making fools of themselves has been a pleasure to watch on twitter.

     

    Brylin Hollyhand is one astroturfed figure I keep an eye on because he’s just so blatantly an industry plant and a front for the Zionists. It’s pretty gross how he skinwalks Charlie Kirk, mimicking his studio, his hustle, his goodyboy aesthetic. Plus because he’s so mediocre, and there’s so much money and effort being put into him, there’s a great potential trainwreck here I want to see.  He’s a new figure with no baggage, so he’s where the new strategies for the Zionists come out for field testing. Where they attempt to shift the needle of the discourse. Of course, Americans have been dunking on him as he does his speaking tours.

    https://x.com/ChiefTrumpster/status/1986111897754828806

    Someone in the video above pressures Hollyhand about how there’s too much legal immigration, and expresses a desire to limit legal immigration. Hollyhand responds with a lecture, saying how it’s “elitist”, “unfair”, and “entitled” for Americans to want to “close the door” on foreigners. Apparently nobody can control where they’re born, and it’s “insane” to want to deny them of the freedom that is America.

     

    Yeah, that won’t work. That moralizing shaming is a tool of the left, and young men are immune to it. They advocated for whites and men to go along with policies harmful to them using the same condescending “shut up and eat your vegetables!” rhetoric for decades now. If the best they can come up with supporting legal immigration is an admission that it’s bad for us, but we should apparently do it anyway for moral reasons, they’ve lost the argument.

      “I guess they just can’t help themselves.”

      Yes.  And for a people who score so highly in verbal skills, Jews seem to lack self-awareness to a shocking degree.  Or, maybe they are very self-aware, but just don’t give a damn, as with so much else.

      Strangely there was one prominent Jew who had at least some understanding of these things, Henry Kissinger:

      “Any people who has been persecuted for 2000 years must be doing something wrong.”

      And, “If it were not for the accident of my birth, I would be antisemitic.”

        Great Kissinger quotes.   The first one is so good I always wondered if it was apocryphal.

        Supposedly during a meeting of his advisers Nixon let Kissinger go first, he was erudite and on point.   Then Nixon turned to the others in the room and deadpanned: ok, let’s have an American view now.

          I wondered if they were apocryphal too.  Grok refers to (((Walter Isaacson’s))) Kissinger biography as a source for both quotes.  Another website cites “Oval Office meetings.”  Anyway, I’ve noticed that more than one of Kissinger’s fellow Chosen people has complained about the statements, which adds to the fun.

          Nixon made some mistakes, but he undoubtedly was a smart guy!  🙂  Thanks for that anecdote.

          At one time, back in the 90s, Dracula was offered in The National Alliance catalog. I sometimes wondered if Bram Stoker was writing about the “Prince of The jews.” The “Prince of The jews” is not a title you hear everyday, but I have come across it a couple of times in my readings about the jews. 🙃

            Hmm.  I’d never heard the phrase “Prince of the Jews.”  (I know that right away I would have wondered:  Is this a secret, mysterious child of the ‘King of the Jews’?)

            The Count Dracula vampire relates to Vlad the Impaler’s  Dracul family.  Many super wealthy & aristocratic historic figures are psychopathic monsters behind the scenes.

            Vlad the Impaler – (Wiki)
            Vlad’s father, Vlad Dracul The name Dracula, which is now primarily known as the name of a vampire, was for centuries known as the sobriquet of Vlad III. [5][6] Diplomatic reports and popular stories referred to him as Dracula, Dracuglia, or Drakula already in the 15th century…

    Maybe it’s just me, but isn’t Trump in bed with Qatar too? Willing to accept the loaned jet for Air Force 1? Setting up a training base in Idaho? Hosting peace talks in Doha? Pulling back the shade on Israel should be welcomed instead of chastised. If only the Roma had such a strong hold over the western press and powers. Maybe they would have a few museums and memorials to commemorate their slaughter as well?

    I think that if worldwide Jewry was to be delivered to an expanded Israel, to include Gaza Strip and the West Bank, they would all fit in quite nicely. And with all that wealth and brain power they could certainly defend themselves without our backing. Win/win!

    The opposition that antiwhites want is “America first or Whites first?” That completely hides the issue of Jewish power and marks Whites as the enemy of America.

    It’s not in the best interests of Whites for us to accept this re-framing. The issue of Jewish power is obvious and we should talk about it.

      And would you look at that, who has Fuentestien started a beef with immediately after being anointed by the (((you know whos))), Aarvol, a well known White separatist proponent. It’s like magic, no one saw this coming.

          There were clips from Fuentestein’s live stream making the rounds stating no one should support Aarvol because he’s opposed to birth right citizenship and (((Civic Nationalism))). The only link I can find with some of the audio is from JFG rumble stream linked below.

    The fascinating thing about this debate is that (apropos of the Sam Francis article you recently ran) it is being fought on the exact same terms as it was in the 1980s with Mel Bradford etc.  Back then we got shellacked and the cost came in deadly wars, massive immigration, blue collar communities decimated with job loss.  It is obvious that now the positions are precisely reversed with them on their back feet and us in the ascendant, and that we will win this time.  But a lot of ruin has accrued in the nation in the meantime and so one historical question remains: is it too late?

    Dreher quotes Heidegger’s old flame Arendt about how historically spikes in “antisemitism” are a sure sign of a people ready for totalitarianism.  It’s a variant on the old canard that “antisemitism is the canary in the coal mine.”  And they know as well as anyone that sometimes those canaries don’t make it back up.

    Behind all this ire is the belief that because someone is put onscreen with a guy everyone who watches that guy is automatically aligned with what is said.

    That’s always been a mistaken assumption but it’s more obvious now because of comment sections and alternative media sources.

    I pay little to no attention to either Carlson or Fuentes. Maybe I should since Fuentes is apparently being hoisted up as The One but I know very few people who think of him that way.  He’s basically a troll – the Bill Maher of the right, if you will.

    I think the big realization peeking through the blinders of previously influential people is that simply being visible doesn’t mean people care what you have to say, even if all your peers are saying that’s the case.

    Nobody buys the BS anymore – they just haven’t gotten the memo yet…

    Hmm, so here’s the tuckster elaborating on his 1960s version of western civilization. So, the new right, then, is race blind Mlk meritocracy; we just needed a reminder. Maybe Fuentes is going to pivot to this; he’s slick enough to pull it off.

     

    i see this as good. Cause in the same self righteous applause ready speech he talks about how his kids are white and how Jews are Jews, but they also aren’t and you shouldn’t notice that.

    do you think this is the brilliant maneuvering it’s meant to be?

    It’s been suggested elsewhere that Nick is trying hard to score some of Charlie Kirk’s Christian crowd.  There is absolutely no way to be a White nationalist, and an American Christian, since Christianity is multi-ethnic.  I know Catholicism is already minority-White, and observant Christians must always choose religion over race.

      And even though for thousands of years Christians had no conflict between racial chauvinism and their religion, and indeed each supported the other, somehow all white Christians today have gotten the anti-racist firmware update.

      And it looks like hes choosing the multi-racial vague Christian thing; because Tucker is now leaning really hard into this washed out Episcopalian -Christ came to tell us to be nice- stuff . Nick always seems very attracted to the elites and I think thats where he wants to be beause hes dropping the White Nash stuff. Theres a comment by Black Pilled about it.

      Let me just defend Christianity here, and Catholicism in particular. I see this as two different yet slightly overlapping areas: man and religion. As man, he is social and political and born to parents and connected to blood relations. Thats the “field” that religion MUST play on. Religion is not able to change mans nature. So, in that context, on that field of play, relgiion can act on man. Now, there might be some different ways he acts toward the other races or tribes as a Christian, no doubt thats  true. But it can’t change his nature as a social being connected by blood to his relations.

      I’ve never seen in any Catholic document that Christ came to mix all the races together and rule them as individuals like what Tucker is now bizarrely preaching. There are conservatives out there Edward Feser in particular, who is saying that “rich countries” must take in various races, but he has but one quote from past authorities about not enslaving fellow Christians becuase of their skin color. But I have many many quotes that are as racist as they come.

      Now, what is tough for people like me in tryign to communicate this is Vatican2. V2 was indeed a capitulation to mixing all the races up and goign along with the modern technocratic liberal deomocratic society and throwing a Hail Mary in there for good measure. But BEFORE I was a white Nash, I studied and subsequently rejected V2 as a non-Catholic event. I don’t beleive the current religion calling itself Catholicims is in fact Catholicism. I think its phony. A kind of ghost in the former structures of the Church.  Ed Feser is a Vatican 2 guy. He believes V2 to be a catholic ecumenical council and so he must adjust his thinking to the ecuminism and pluralist supremacism of the V2 event and subsequent teachings of the V2 church.

      I don’t have to be embarrassed by the race -mixing stuff of the Vatican or the V2 bishops. Feser must contend with it.

      I’m not defending myself, Im trying to defend Christianity. I have never seen anything that says that a white country like the US use to be can’t make herself white again. Instead of using language like “in a humane way” i’m convinced its inhumane and thus anti-Christian to allow ourselves and our children to be swamped by the hordes, and its a duty to get them out of our lands. Without a stable natural society (at least with the potential to head there) there is nothhing to evangelize except individuals.

      Last thing is that for there to be a “Catholic” nation, which the church teaches ea nation must be (and thats common sense considering that God is its head) there needs to be something to pour Catholicism into. A mult- racial prison is not a nation. So the United States cannot become “Catholic” in that it has no people to become Catholic. It has individuals and thats not human, its not an organic human organization, its not a society in that it doesn’t have enough elements of a human sociery to function healthily.

      If people have read my speech before I apologize but its complex. Also if anyone sees any holes in my reasoning, discover them for me. Uh, either about V2 or about the relation between Christianity and nationalism.
