Thank you for your articulate take. I’m American but my personal sense of identity is strongly Germanic. I look at the way people in my ancestral part of Germany lived and even to a large extent live today and I see much more in common with them than the average “Murican.” I don’t have a hard rule to only date women with identical backgrounds but for example, I think it would be good if I could.

Italians and even certain distinctly different Northern Europeans, like the Irish, are under the same attack as what I think of as my people but it does a disservice if we collapse everything into us being “the same.” It really only benefits Leftists, actually, for us to collapse our shared Western heritage into “being White.” Then, we’ve effectively leveled off our differences into a type of crude One Worldism applied to only one continent. At the same time, we give legitimacy to their lies that we are only standing for an “artificial social hierarchy” and “White is a construct” - because on some level, we’ve then destroyed what was natural and have created something artificial.
