Ethno-nationalists, the alt-right, white nationalists are all just a
rebranding, a new name for white supremacists.
You can actually trace this re-branding effort back to Richard Spencer. The same chap who encourages knuckle draggers to wear suits, and start grooming themselves, etc.
So, here Tommy is certainly using words more correctly in consideration of the etymology at issue.
Also observing that the lingua franca of white supremacists has traditionally included such as “great replacement” theory, stoking fears of "white genocide" through immigration, race science, eugenics, and of course that old staple, antisemitism.
I.e. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, masturbates like a duck, then it probably is a duck.
Those are all highly familiar themes one hears from the "duck" we're putting under the spotlight here, eh?
And repackaging up these old racist traditions in language and forms that might more easily enter mainstream political discourse, doesn't fool most people.
No one with half a brain is fooled by the "respectable" language of racial separatism, or casting white identity in terms of the prevalent identity politics, or couching the core ideas about racial superiority and ethic division in euphemisms, etc.
Well, for my sins, I can recommend you chaps a great academic paper here for anyone interested - for anyone who wants to understand more about this
rebranding.
It focuses on the prototype website for all the other websites like this one that emulate it.
But in particular it shows how white supremacist chumps have gravitated to rhetorics of
victimhood in order to appeal to larger audiences by:
(1) obscuring the ideology’s connections to white supremacy;
(2) sanitising their language; and
(3) rebranding antiracism and the cult idea of "anti-whites" as the perpetrators of their victimhood.
