Wait a minute! You are either a "founding white" or an immigrant/invader? What kind of divisive and nonsensical categories are these? Aren't we all Americans? This is one of the most divisive and ethnocentric posts I have yet to see on this substack. I'd be ashamed, if I were you.

First of all, this substack article is a repost from Paul Craig Roberts.

Secondly, we are in fact all Americans IF we are legally here.

I am simply sharing another point of view here.

This substack is 100% inclusive of everyone, and I have reposted a wide range of views on race, socioeconomics, etc. from a diverse and broad range of other authors.

Balony. Many have become US citizens, but that doesn't make them Americans in the cultural sense. And if you're ancestors arrived on the Mayflower but you are now in favor of destroying the constitution or have divided loyalties / citizenship with foreign countries with different interests, you are no longer American.

There is a lot to repost that is not white nationalist and divisive in nature. I appreciate your responding and encourage you to repost worthy material. BTW, I am not woke, I am not a Democrat, I am not a Republican, I am not a Christian, I am not some third gender and am 100% American. The politics of them vs us are fracturing our nation. This article is a good example of an effort to create animus and division. Enough said.

Yours truly is apolitical and found worth in the article.

As this is my substack, I write and share what I deem fit and as such do not require any advice on these matters.

Sure enough. But you do have a comment section. What's that for? Applause? Cheerleading? Okay, I have said my piece. May the Force be with you!

The comment section is for cogent arguments and debate.

Don't shoot the messenger. Roberts is simply noticing social trends and the existing political trend towards increasing division in American society. There is a good reason that political correctness has been described as The War on Noticing. America is not a homogenous society, it is full of people with wildly divergent backgrounds, views and aims, and so they naturally do not get along. When it comes to national unity, diversity is not a strength. Identity politics deliberately exaggerates existing fissures, and is a surefire recipe for social discord.

Perhaps some new great national cause can be manufactured to unite all the squabbling social subgroups, but if current trends continue, separation and self-rule is in the future.
