Not to highjack this thread but ...
I would love if some of you 'far right', 'alt right' or 'white nationalists' would self define how you self identify and what distinguishes you from the other labels. It might clear up some of the ambiguity.
An example: How is denying Omar, a Canadian, from compensation for his illegal detention and torture nationalistic? The highest court in Canada, our Supreme Court, already ruled his rights were violated and the Canadian government was responsible. Wouldn't it be seen as the opposite of nationalistic and actually subversive to the nation state to oppose the law and the Court's ruling?
I can help with starting with my own self identification. I self identify as a socially progressive, social democratic, globalist and environmentalist. I am progressive because I believe in freedom and don't support inequality, discrimination or judgement based on gender, sexuality, ethnicity, race, age or religious/spiritual belief (so actually very close to true social libertarianism, except I believe in the state limiting, controlling and subverting offence and violence whether through speech, acts of violence or potential acts of violence like gun possession). I am a social democrat because I believe in a democracy thats primary purpose is to elect a government that supports the needs of its citizenary over individual desires and promotes economic equality (a social welfare state). I am a globalist because I believe as technology has expanded our 'reach' or 'range, the idea of the nation state has become antiquated, and our responsibility must reflect that increased connection and relationship to the whole world (examples would be that I believe in environmental and humanitarian responsibility including the free flow of refugees over the individual need of Canada). I am an environmentalist because I put the needs of the environment over the desires of the economy (so I don't support consumptionism or support the recent NEB ruling that simply states that the economic interest of the pipeline expansion supercedes the potential catastrophic damage a marine spill would create).
Ignore it, respond or whatever? This is an actual expressed interest in having dialogue that probably won't lead to agreement, but at least to understanding. I am able to easily converse and find commonalities with progressive conservatives/liberals (the lower casing is intentional), socialists and communists, but have a real hard time understanding people who won't clearly define their standing on the right - like if you are a conservative, far right, alt right or white nationalist, simply declare it and differentiate yourself - why hide? I am not afraid to declare that I am left of center, but right of socialism, communism and anarchy.
Another note, in case you already didn't know, terms like politically correct, social justice warrior and snowflake or terms created by the right to insult, diminish and conspiracize the left, no one on the left uses those terms to self identify.
