If the KKK started to whine about people being racist towards them...the racist elephant in the room would need to be acknowledged.
lol true. putinhisbutt and robturd's hypocrisy coming out hard in this thread.
1. I'm sorry, but "western culture" is not a dog whistle. You can believe in the primacy of western culture, and not give two shits about someone's race. The idea that culture and race should be considered the same thing is ****ing ridiculous, it's how the SJWs argue that western culture is "whiteness" and that therefore if you criticize another culture that's racism, and it's how the alt-right claims the white race is superior by conflating white skin with western values.
2. Yeah... jewish conspiracy, that sounds pretty alt-right. Criticizing multiculturalism though is not a uniquely alt-right or racist or fascist belief though.
3. White Ethnostate, absolutely and irrefutably alt-right
(Also how early was this in Contrapoints's transition? She sounds/looks more masculine than in other videos of hers i've seen)
Luckily contrapoints didn't make the mistake of arguing race and culture and geography should be conflated.
Here's the thing though, you can get people who oppose modern social justice on the same grounds they oppose the alt-right, you can get people who care about the preservation of western culture without conflating culture with skin color. Being against multiculturalism is not the same thing as being against multiracialism.
I'm all for bashing the alt-right, I find their views reprehensible. But there is danger in mistaking someone who isn't authoritarian or racist for an alt-right fascist just because they're a civic nationalist or have an interest in the preservation of western values, or disagree with modern social justice activism.
In other words, contrapoints gave a solid description of the alt-right, but there will be people extend the definition she gave to accuse people of being alt-right who aren't alt-right, just because there are some similarities between their position and the alt-right's position, without taking into account the vast irreconcilable differences between that person and the alt-right.

Think western culture can absolutely be a dog whistle. It can also not be. But many white supremacists do use the term to mean little more than a culture largely dominated by white people with European heritage and not the potentially other more nuanced virtues you are alluding to.

It's a term that should be met with some suspicion at the least, depending on who is using it and what they mean by it.
Agreed.
Unfortunately, I can't think of any examples of romanticism of western culture, for the sake of admiring western culture.
When the left does it, they always talk about the melting pot/salad bowl. You can have loyalty and love for, say, Italy, India, Russia, or whatever you identify with ethnically. And that makes America great, because here you can do that, and be American.
And yes, the right often means "whites". Or white European centric.
Who speaks of love for America, like one speaks for love of Italy, who isn't considered a racist? What form can "Our culture is better then yours" take, that won't be seen as racist?
Because other countries totally have that kind of loyalty. I roomed with an Indian in my school days, who passed emails back and forth to his friends about how great India was compared to Japan, or China, etc.
