Mid-western nobody Supporting the liberal order Systems are complex, there are no easy answers

  1. The entire point of a rules-based international order is to prevent wide-scale conflicts. I'd say that's been pretty dang successful.

    It also lends legitimately to any international actions when countries break those agreements. That helps build coalitions that... help prevent wide-scale conflicts.

  2. No insistence, I just don't think it's so simple as it used to be.

    These dark enlightenment and neo-nazi/neo-nationalist types have changed their views, tactics, and goals.

    Do we want to just shout RACISM? Sure, it's easy. And probably mostly true. But it also hides the even more insidious nature.

  3. They mean white American culture, for sure.

    But the neo-nationalists have figured out a new way to frame how black people can fit into their world view. It's an outright destruction of black history and reframing it with a false harmony with white history.

    Look at JD Vance and his wife.

  4. Somewhat. White nationalism expresses that "white" is a race, and for sure that's why they talk about Europeans like they're a monolith.

    However, the various cultures and political beliefs of various Europeans do not fit into their view of American nationalism.

    I don't have a full theory here...
