trope of "supremacist" assessment

I learned about this recently in a PragerU video, which I discuss here.

After thinking about this more, I notice the dominance theme in other AltRight attitudes as well eg. alt-religion.

Here is a simple analogy about dominance: Domination: shadow model vs strangle model

Most Alt-Righters reject the trope of "supremacist" or any kind of imperialism

That may be, but they are deluding themselves. It's called "in denial".

I find your explanations to be overly-complicated and your analogies confusing here. To be racially supremacist/dominant just means to control other races either through totalitarian militant means or perhaps indirect socioeconomic influence (i.e. like Jews do today). Most of the Alt-Right will outright say they do not want to do this and just want a space for whites. It is that simple

If only the reality was so simple. Ethnic purity is beautiful. Discrimination, Segregation, these are not supremacy because once your THEM opponents are out of the picture, your basic US can live in peace while THEM do their own thing. If US has the arete, the virtue to thrive, one might hope and expect US to grow tall enough to overshadow THEM.

Have a look at my recent post Downside of Diversity, for a sociological study on what happens in societies with too many outsiders.
