(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
White identity worldwide is bigger now than any time since before the world wars, I would say. Even when it's negative (white guilt) it's being collectively applied even on nations that never owned colonies.
“oh hey the people in the next town over have the same language and religion, maybe we’re similar” - 18th and 19th century
“oh hey those folks in Europe and South Africa are being diversified by force too, maybe we’re similar” - 21st century
I’m simplifying, but you get the idea
The conspiracy theories about globalists faking an alien incursion to force one-world government have always interested/spooked me.
I don't like subverting national identities in Europe to a pan-European one. The future has to be one of nationalists cooperating across white countries. That's another reason why identitarianism is good. It doesn't say we all need to be one white superstate like RS would want
I think we should just have one big Montana
based
A "White NATO" is my suggestion.
Mutual defense pact
I think for America it's a bit different from Europe because most people still understand French, German, etc are white ethnicities while people believe American can be anyone
So we need to promote European-American identity specifically here
@Lawrence of Eurabia Texas is good too.
@Clayton_H_ATX did you know the ethnostate is actually in Texas?

Aren't public schools in Texas like 2/3 nonwhite? Really sad stuff
@Alex Kolchak - NY little German speaking settlements actually exist in other states, like Washington, too
I just learned about that and it’s really cool
Hutterites speak a dialect of German
ya, Hutterites
we have a few colonies here
Czech museums in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and Yukon, OK.
@TMatthews you’re not wrong, but there a many pockets of distinctly European cultures.
and the name “Pennsylvania Dutch” comes from “deutsch” not “dutch”
I have an ancestor who came from Germany to Pennsylvania in the 1700s
also, there are some pockets of NC where people speak a version of 1700s British English with some Southern pronunciation mixed in
@Jacob What’s the town in central Washington that’s known for its German heritage? I was stationed in whidbey island WA for a few years
My area celebrates there German/Czech heritage very vocally. I never appreciated the environment until now.

Leavenworth
PA has a substantial number of Pennsylvania German speakers, but it's mostly just the Amish/Mennonites now. Used to be common with normal rural folks
I'm not sure how much of that is genuine German heritage and how much of it is just due to being a tourist attraction
It's definitely a bit forced, not that that's a bad thing
It's a pretty cool town
Leavenworth, famous for the Thirty Mile Fire...
