They're not "now labeling" these people as extremists since the report is dated 2009.

Abraham Foxman never said that. Not even Stromfront thinks it's authentic. And even if he did, who gives a shit what he thinks. No one is going to wipe a billion people off the face of the earth.

Nonsense. I make it for all population groups. All population groups have migrated from one place to another place at some point in history. I'm not anti-white. I'm an all lives matter type of guy.

Not all white people are indigenous Europeans. And if you go back far enough, the word "indigenous" becomes so vague as to be meaningless.

All people who border other people have vaguely similar cultures and frameworks. In most cases, it's impossible to define a "white" border from a "non-white" border, as borders bleed into one another.

That your child may look the same as you is no guarantee that you'll be a perfect organ donator for your child.

A model discussing abstract properties does not necessarily map into the real world https://rofasss.org/2020/05/. But, again, even if it did, white people in toto are not ethnocentric. White people include a vast admixture of cultures and ethnicities. And even if, hypothetically, white people were all one distinct culture and ethnicity, and we could map abstract properties from the model to the real world, the utilitarian nature of ethnocentrism doesn't tell us whether or not one ought to be ethnocentric. From a strictly utilitarian perspective, it may be in the best interest of an impoverished family with too many mouths to feed to kill a few of their children, but that doesn't mean that they ought to actually do so.

Calm down. White people aren't going anywhere. In a godless universe, no one deserves anything. As Dawkins put it, "In a universe of electrons and selfish genes, blind physical forces and genetic replication, some people are going to get hurt, other people are going to get lucky, and you won't find any rhyme or reason in it, nor any justice. The universe that we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but pitiless indifference." In a God-full universe, there is neither Jew nor Gentile... we are all one in Christ Jesus.

You're talking about "white" people as though they are some sort of monolithic tribe. They're not. You don't belong to a "white" people. At best you belong to single subset of people, out of dozens and dozens, who happen to have a relatively similar phenotype. And if you're an American, you probably barely belong to that one subset with anything more than genetics. And you don't have to play the Uno Reverse card for people who claim to hate all white people and want to see them go extinct by suggesting that you should love all white and hate all non-white people. First of all, it's simply not true that you love all white people. You don't know all white people, and there's plenty of bastards out there that you'd probably find loathsome. Only a simpleton would think that the only recourse to other's embracing ethnocentrism is to embrace your own ethnocentrism.

TIL a Jewish Actor got a Black person fired, which resulted in another Jew being hired (but Wikipedia claims they're "White"). by radicalcentrist in debatealtright

For the same reason a ton of ordinary people are now claiming to be non-hetero or mentally unstable. It's popular to be a victim or in a minority and unpopular to be part of the majority. People are often wrong about the things they claim about themselves.

Proof? And for what purpose?

The legalization of "gay" marriage. Marriage is an institution that was intended to act as a foundation for a family. The gay rights movement claimed authority over this institution and subverted it's telos, which was a spiritual vow between two people who were committed to a properly ordered sexual relationship so that they may produce children. If you read the literature of gay rights activists, the purpose for this subversion is to up-end all social norms, which they see as manufactured constructs to keep the elite in places of power and control.

You've made a number of unstated assertions. First you're asserting that all social activism undermines non-Jews. I don't think you can support that claim. Second, there is no such thing as "White culture." The only thing that "White" people share is a relatively similar phenotype whose borders are impossible to define. And those people come from a massive range of cultures, some of which have seen extreme conflicts and rivalries between one another. Third, none of the things you mentioned (feminism, the Supreme Court, Joe Biden's cabinet) are categorically Jewish. Fourth, no culture has ever been preserved. It is the nature of human societies and cultures to change. More often than not these changes are cyclical. There is nothing new under the sun. Finally, even if true, the suggestion that Jews have a disproportionate representation in social activism does not inversely suggest that all Jews are then acting to undermine all non-Jews. You simply can't get from one to the other. It's trivial to point out that that is not the case. Jews are not a monolith. They hold a wide range of views, some in direct conflict with others.

Your final sentence and linked article is a non sequitur. You're again making unstated assertions. This time, presumably, that the Democrat lawmakers in the article = all Jews. And then a further unstated assertion that if Democrat lawmakers = all Jews, and these lawmakers show bipartisan support with Republicans for Israel, then that means that all Jews actually do support Israel. But none of that can be taken from your link. Democrat lawmakers are not universally Jewish. Not even a majority of them are Jewish. And not all Jews are universally Democrat lawmakers. They're not even all Democrats. And nothing in this article suggests anything about Jews or Democrat lawmakers liking or disliking Israel. What the article does suggest is that criticism of Israel mostly comes from Democrat lawmakers.

I know something about cults because I was raised in one and escaped it years ago. I can tell you're in a cult because you don't critically think about the things you write. You assume that certain precepts naturally go together because....of course they go together. If you really thought about why you think about the things you're writing, you would see that they're all very simplistic and silly.

The only white supremacists that most people ever encounter are those found on forums like these. You'll find them slithering around on their stomachs all over here, Gab, and 4Chan, but generally speaking, you're unlikely to meet one in real life, or at least, one who is out in the open about it (unless you just happen to be in the same circles). The anonymity of these sorts of social forums takes the sting out of holding views that most ordinary people find repulsive.

Some gay people absolutely do claim authority over straight people.

Some Jews may act in the manner you suggest. There are plenty of Jews who are not interested in undermining non-Jews. There are plenty of Jews who despise Israel. Regardless, most Jews are white, no matter what some Jews may say or how some Jews may behave. In fact, most Jews are white even if they all said the were not. They're not wrong about claiming to be white, unless you're claiming that the word "White" (and yes, I've noticed the capitalization) only applies to non-Jewish Anglo-Saxons or some such. Using common words like "white" in peculiar ways is cultic behavior.
