@TMatthews I'm on the fence. What you're saying is valid. The question is just whether we can make the idea of European identity less esoteric from the average normie's point of view. If not, we're going to need to reclaim "American" as an explicitly European identity.
Reclaiming "American" as a European identity by distancing ourselves from Europe seems counterintuitive. Our name now states clearly what we're about, whereas American identity can mean almost anything to anyone. The ability to say "we're just a group that celebrates European American heritage and identity" is arguably more normie friendly than saying we want an American identity that excludes other races, imo
Granted, but even in using the term "European-American," the insinuation is that European-Americans are a subset of a larger, ambiguously American group, whereas if we were simply advocating for a *European* identity, which is admittedly my preference, then we wouldn't feel the need to use the term European-American in the first place. It's definitely fraught, and it's gonna be a process...
American identity is European in origin, but it did also develop in unique ways. I'm fine with saying just European heritage, but I also use Vdare's term "the traditional American nation" in contrast with the America of today
Thing are still very much in flux. I'm not married to any particular means; only the end.
Hey, does anyone remember who that young, college-age Alt Right-ish redhead who was doing videos like a year ago? She was kind of, like, the Rage Against Storm or Lauren Rose before said duo, but she was a Germanophile would speak German in some of her videos, had some pretty significant cinematic chops, and kept her stuff pretty esoteric and plausibly deniable...
She deleted all her stuff, and disappeared from the face of the Earth a while back...
Dreamy Diglot
@Wood-Ape - OK/MN Yeah, that's her!
Man. Couldn't remember to save my life...
Lol
Fucking autocorrect
"vidyas" become "body as"
Sure... 😏
her VIDEOS were a highlight of my redpill month april-may 2017
Yeah, her stuff *was* really promising...
It's was disappointing to see her go.
From what I remember she went to boarding school in Europe. Daughter of some elites I am sure
White elites, but elites all the same
Meh. She'd be an improvement on what we have now...
No worries. Yeah, I figured.
/ourgirl/ and a redhead 😍
Lol
Not sure about the trad con part, but yeah, definitely a looker, and at least a double-threat.
she's /ourgirl/ for sure, too bad her channel has everything deleted or turned to private
Who do I talk to about a potential activism idea which multiple chapters could take part in?
@John Riggs Probably talk to @wayne peek about getting into the activism server to post your idea.

Anyone wanna get in on this
This was brutal.
I like American Identity but I also don't think it makes sense. People might find us hypocritical. "What about the chinese that built the railroads in this country blah blah blah"
You can counter the railroad thing with the fact that we didn’t naturalize the chinamen and banned their women from the country entirely in the 1890’s
Really if you look into any substantial minority population in the US you will also find laws and deportations that support the Government’s defense of our supermajority
60% of the Hispanics we’ve deported on an ethnic basis had birthright citizenship at the time of their deportation
yea I'm just saying as an example. There dozens of examples like that. It just convolutes the message of who we are. We'd just have to constantly counter it
Identity Evropa just makes sense. We don't really need to explain it
^ i agree
I agree in the sense that we need more patriotic symbolism sure
American patriotism more specifically
