@ThisIsChris Now we can make the double n word a mainstream slur.
The whole neo-nazi thing is a joke, especially since we've put in rules banning it.
Can we make appeals to change it?
@Axel Cyberstrike is already on it.
Nice
Yeah and it took a century of reconstruction and integration enforced by the military, scotus, media to change the use of the n word. Trump can't even take away an asshole's press pass, there's no way we're going to turn neo-nazi into a slur.
I could be wrong but I think younger people who weren't around for WN 1.0 don't associate the term with Jack boots and pinwheels. As "neo nazi" and "white supremacist" lose their flair, surely in part thanks to good optics, the left is trying to turn WN into the new n-word for whites. But when they call Trump and Steve King white nationalists, they hurt their own objective and the term loses power by their very use of it.
People are getting radicalized but overall I think it's few in our direction. One example is the recent mid-term elections which were a blue wave. Another example for me is a personal friend who describes himself as a conservative libertarian but now posts angrily about "the nazi threat"
More like a blue thief in the night
@⚡Clark⚡ I know and we should be but there is a political optics game that needs to be played, It would be an aesthetic change, not ideological
Allsup is growing stronger as our enemies continue to mutate

That is definitely a mutation...
Chaos daemons are real

This bring back the whole “they are gonna call you a Nazi anyways” bit. That doesnt mean put on some armbands and start goosestepping. It means be so clean cut and clearly not Nazis that the term loses its edge.
Having our name being very honest and frank about who we are is a good thing
It’s respectable
We’re not trying to be sly, we have nothing to hide or be ashamed of
White Identity is ok.
@missliterallywho White Nationalist is a better term than Neo nazi or White Supremacist. But only a bit, the issue isn't so much the term itself, rather the people associated with it. The term White Nationalist emerged as 1.0 was trying to present something of a better image in the 90's, however it failed and a lot of spergs started using the term, ruining it for everybody else.
@⚡Clark⚡ How is a name like the American Identity Society a dishonest ? We're American based, we believe in Identity and we're a society.
If anything it's a bit less esoteric
Because American Identity isn’t explicitly white anymore
“They’re an American group that only take whites? Lol closet racists”
Our message and mission is simple. Advocate for white Identity
Good morning, fellow Rocky Mountain Republicans
@missliterallywho dude if you think that's bad, I had a class reading that said disability is not bad, it's a beautiful part of the human experience that contributes to diversity
@⚡Clark⚡ American race blind civic nationalism is a late 20th century concept, that would,be completely alien to most Americans throughout 90% of American history. It's an aesthetic change not idealogical. Good understandable and relatable aesthetics are essential for any political movement or organization
@Virgil but it’s not alien to the current state, which is what is relevant. Our impact that we have, and our efforts to change the discourse about white Identity would be severely handicapped if we were vague in our name.
Changing our name at this point I disagree with immensely. We’re established at the level of causing international outrage as “Identity Evropa” with the Mexican consulate thing like Mrs said. IE has heft. Changing our name isn’t a good call imo
@ThisIsChris It's actually surprising how little people care. Everyone who knows me well knows what I believe and I don't get a lot of push back.
You would be sacrificing the zing of our organization to be more palatable in an area that shouldn’t b compromised
People would see past the name change
No one is gonna say "oh Identity America? ya they're super moderate unlike that evropa group that has nothing to do with them"
Exactly. It would only be seen as cucking, and not in a good optics way. If you change your name to a term that’s civic nationalist, what do you even stand for?
When IE first came out, there were plenty of articles identifying us as the successor of National Youth Front. They don't talk about it anymore because they have better things to smear us with, but it's not a secret that we came out of NYF. Anyone can find this information on Google.
I already decided, if we change our name to Identity America, I am photoshipping Patrick's face in every fortnite dance in history.
I'm not messing around.
So you already did it once lol?
Lol. "once"
This is how you get stuff done, gentlemen.
