When you’ve gotten past the guilt-tripping, the pathologization, and the demonization, the next hurdle is the attack on White identity.
“Aw gee, who’s White anyway? What does White really mean?”
This installment continues the examination of ethny, nation, and race – what they are and how they are related. The terms “civic nationalism”, “cultural nationalism”, and “deracinated nationalism” demonstrate how the meaning of nation, specifically, has become so distorted and misunderstood.
I cite the Wikipedia article Ethnic nationalism:
Herodotus is the first who stated the main characteristics of ethnicity, with his famous account of what defines Greek identity, where he lists kinship (Greek: ὅμαιμον – homaimon, “of the same blood”[2]), language (Greek: ὁμόγλωσσον – homoglōsson, “speaking the same language”[3]), cults and customs (Greek: ὁμότροπον – homotropon, “of the same habits or life”)
See also, Nation:
A nation may refer to a community of people who share a common language, culture, ethnicity, descent, or history.
In this definition, a nation has no physical borders. However, it can also refer to people who share a common territory and government (for example the inhabitants of a sovereign state) irrespective of their ethnic make-up.[2][3] In international relations, nation can refer to a country or sovereign state.
According to Joseph Stalin writing in 1913 in Marxism and the National Question: “a nation is not a racial or tribal, but a historically constituted community of people;” “a nation is not a casual or ephemeral conglomeration, but a stable community of people;” “a common language is one of the characteristic features of a nation;” “a nation is formed only as a result of lengthy and systematic intercourse, as a result of people living together generation after generation;” “a common territory is one of the characteristic features of a nation;” “a common economic life, economic cohesion, is one of the characteristic features of a nation;” “a common psychological make-up, which manifests itself in a common culture, is one of the characteristic features of a nation;” “A nation is a historically constituted, stable community of people, formed on the basis of a common language, territory, economic life, and psychological make-up manifested in a common culture.” According to Stalin, this would exclude Jews as they have no common territory.[4]
An alternative view, expressed by Otto Bauer, author of Social Democracy and the Nationalities Question (1907), that “A nation is an aggregate of people bound into a community of character by a common destiny.” would include Jews.

The bit.ly link is to an article Simmons wrote, Mitt Romney & Paul Ryan, Two Men Who Will Destroy Poor America!
Simmons’ outburst highlights the two faces of contemporary anti-White identity politics. His article presents a classic Marxist view – class warfare, rich versus poor. His tweets present the more modern, cultural Marxist view – a coalition of non-White races and various other victim group identities versus the over-served, uncompassionate, old, sexually normal White men.
