Hmm. I think I see what you are saying. Do you think Vivek
Ramaswamy is an example of this? He is a vegetarian, but his
involvement with Western pharmaceutical ventures makes me
suspect he may support animal testing (although to be fair, he
was mainly playing the role of an investor, and not a Western
scientist, so I don't know whether he himself supports animal
testing). Similarly, he has married a "non White" woman but is
okay with pandering to racists (although to be fair he has not
explicitly come out in support of WN himself).
I have known some vegetarians I grew up with who were fascinated
and excited about the chance to do dissection on frogs (although
to be fair, the animal was dead) because they liked the "gore".
I myself was horrified of this, perhaps you could say
"squeamishness", but I would say Aryan blood memory (as the frog
was probably killed. This is similarly why I was uncomfortable
sitting next to people eating meat).

"Do you think Vivek Ramaswamy is an example of this?"
I don't think we have enough information yet. He is definitely a
Duginist, though:
HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivek_Ramaswamy#Foreign_affairs
[quote]Ramaswamy said he favored "some major concessions to
Russia, including freezing those current lines of control in a
Korean-war style armistice agreement" to end the Russo-Ukrainian
War.[125] He favored ending U.S. military aid to Ukraine,
excluding Ukraine from NATO, and allowing Russia to remain in
occupied regions of Ukraine in exchange for an agreement that
Russia end its alliance with China.[126][127] He expressed
support for Taiwanese independence,[128] and floated the idea of
"putting a gun in every Taiwanese household" to deter an
invasion by China[/quote]

Weird, as he comes from elite neoliberal circles. I honestly
liked his ideas before he ran for president (aside from "anti
woke", although it was mainly directed toward quotas/affirmative
action): pro market capitalism, pro American , acknowledged
climate change, anti meat eating (although framed as "animal
rights"). All these positions would have been easily advocable
for in the 90s/pre-9/11 world (a la Clinton/Gore), which I think
is the positive view of America that Vivek has (one where people
from all different "non White" countries are able to become
Americans and integrate into American society, and are afforded
economic opportunities, ultimately shifting the focus to bigger
issues like factory farms and the environment ). In fact, this
is the picture of America my parents probably had when
immigrating here, as my dad was a Gore fan back in the day.
That America has been firmly buried by Jews/Gentiles, but I
truly believe that despite all the negativity, we can resurrect
it through demographic blueshift and a revival of the
counterculture. I think entryism into elite neoliberal
institutions is a good way, and being pro markets and pro
American (unlike the Bernie Sanders/Chomskyite left) is ok, and
even beneficial (as there is a strong economic case for open
borders from a nationalist/pro market standpoint), but we must
also be firmly "anti White" and "anti Zionist" which is where
Vivek falls short.
My thinking was that entryism into elite institutions would
allow us a better form of organization in our movement and
ultimately allow us to promote higher ideals such as veganism,
as opposed to stupid "street protests", which are almost always
infiltrated by Jews due to their anarchist nature and which more
often than not attract low lives (violent criminals, lazy
socialist bums, reproductive Eurocentrists, carnists, etc.).
But unfortunately, I have yet to see the kind of Aryan idealism
I wish to see in elite circles, as most "non Whites" become
apolitical after becoming economically affluent, or end up
pandering to rightists like Vivek.

Posting enemy Hanania again, only for the cringe tweet by the
enemy Weeb/sexpat in the screenshot

I’m really curious on what basis a group of people thinks they
can impose an idea of nationhood that practically all Americans
disagree with and most are repulsed by.
Greg Abbott is encouraging Indian immigration. Anti-racism
unites American society. Racists are the outsiders.

So you agree with Hanania's pro-democracy comment? (Or, if you
do not agree with anything Hanania said, why not just post the
screenshot of the tweet he is responding to?)

Didn't catch that, perhaps because when he said "all Americans"
I implicitly excluded "Whites" from that grouping, even though
Hanania himself would not.

US is the greatest superpower ever. It has won the culture war
comprehensively.
The moment people start getting prosperous in any society, they
get Americanized (exceptions prove the rule).
Even the prosperous people in countries that hate America to the
core and want to destroy it follow American culture.
"Prosperity leads to Americanization"
Yes, they retain some aspects of their own culture, but that is
only for show. On a psychological and social level, they
progressively start adopting American attitudes. The funny part
is that many of these people might criticize US day and night.
The same applies to India as well. It has lost the culture war
comprehensively to the US. There is no coming back.
It is not about dress, language, eating habits, etc. Those may
remain Indian to some extent. It is about social attitudes, and
those are increasingly getting Americanized, with no turning
back.
No other country in history has had as much influence as America
has today. Truly astounding.

India has not lost the culture war to Americanization. On the
contrary, if we consider that the counterculture was partially
influenced by Hinduism/Buddhism (I do), then we can say that it
won from a cultural standpoint, as it played a role in weakening
traditional Western culture. This is why the concept of "soft
power" should not be underestimated: compare the "coolness" of
Bollywood, yoga, spirituality that India has contributed to
America and which has been helpful in establishing friendly
relations between the two countries, with the totally uncool
culture of the suit wearing CCP in mainland China:

The previous post illustrates why I consider the United States
to be less Western than even France, for example, despite both
being founded on "Enlightenment Values". Thoughts?
