A main way ppl have denied white nationalism is white nationalism is to ignore or discount the views & interests of those adversely affected by white nationalism, in favour of giving a hearing to those who benefit from white nationalism

Which you'd expect from white nationalists
But maybe dont do this if you dont think you are a white nationalist or are faux-outraged by being called one

There's no mystery abt what white nationalists believe, or why they believe it

We had far too much talking to them, & heard far too little from those unjustly affected
Or, worse, analysis that has suggested that claims for equal humanity and rights, and against racial injustice are mere 'identity politics'

If you're still singing tired, false, gross theme in 2021, well, we already knew what you think of some peoples' actual lives and views
The 'both sides'ism here has long been the tactic of white nationalists, to try to equate all group claims as similar/ equally valid. This is both empirically & morally wrong: in terms of what people advocating for racial justice are demanding or why those demands are legitimate
Equal rights, humanity and inclusion for a disadvantaged minority

does NOT=

Permanent domination and exclusion by an advantaged majority

And what makes these claims legitimate and illegitimate, respectively, is not the question of 'identity' but the matter of *justice*
This is of course obvious

Those deflecting to the question of 'identity' know exactly what they're doing, esp with their essentialist and conflictual account of inherent group difference
