commies are erasing our history, i support erasing theirs

Onboard

oh I remember the IE fidget spinner discussion

@Nemets ah ok. It does seem pretty clear that race is genetic and does matter, but some people seem to think there’s a genetic component to *everything*

regardless, even if it was a social construct, it seems like an extremely persistent social construct that we can’t avoid

I always thought we should actually produce those

@Jacob There was one custom one made for Nathan.

I mean we should have actually mass produced those kind of like the playing cards

@Alex Kolchak - NY wait, *isn't* there a genetic component to everything?

Race is biologically real, but precise barriers between races are partially cultural (eg Turks, Jews, and Lebanese not being white)

There's a genetic component to almost everything, but it's not the only component

@Jacob if we had done that, the IE space program would be a reality.

@Nemets you mean southeast asians?

@Nemets Well, I would say they are, depending on how specific you get. If you use 5 clusters, they're one race, but if you use 7, they're different.

@Nemets If you reduce things down to three races, yes, but Europeans are still a genetically and culturally distinct sub population

@Goldstein Riots Okay I just found Shawn's Youtube and he looks familiar. What was his Discord name?

or Persians

@Jacob can't recall.

He was at the times square action flexing on hwnd.

some Persians and Lebanese are white if you squint lol

and some are very nice and cultured and Westernized people

that’s why “ethnicity” is a more useful term a lot of the time

At the end of the day, white = European but a shift towards using European sounds so much better because it gets rid of "muh skin color" and allows for us to make it about heritage and identity more broadly

@TMatthews Evropean, thank you.

Idk how to phrase that really, but it's part of why I love the name IE

I agree with you on that

some people object though because apparently most normal Americans don't feel "European"

If we chose an America themed name but still obviously didn't allow nonwhites, it would give off 1.0 vibes. This is different. We're building our own brand

@Jacob I think as more people become aware of issues like immigration in Europe, they’ll identify or at least relate to Europeans a bit more

Identity Super Saiyan

(who are white)

Normal Americans haven't heard of identitarianism and that's okay. Much better than something like white nationalism which brings up imagery of skinheads/KKK in their minds.

@Nemets You are right. maybe a little Revolution / founding fathers factoids

@Alex Kolchak - NY This might be hard for people like us to put in perspective since we both have family that is fairly recently from Europe. I honestly don't know how some guy whose entire family has been here since the 17th century would feel about this.

If we introduce ourselves as identitarians, or even just as a European heritage group, it gives us the ability to define who we are to anyone curious about us. They don't have to think of themselves as European to think "they have heritage and activist groups for everyone else, so why not Europeans?"

European national identities developed in part thanks to faster means of communication and printed books which gave people a sense of shared history/language/etc

the same could happen with broader racial identity thanks to the internet
