Jason Kessler: First Principles of White Identity: White Solidarity or Antisemitism

I was surprised to learn this weekend that I had been roped into this article about White Identity and the Jewish Question by Jason Kessler over at Counter-Currents.

Counter-Currents:

“For the white partisan, there are two intertwining and sometimes competing priorities: the establishment of white solidarity as a political constituency and opposition to Jewish power. Both may have value, but only one can be considered the First Principle or highest priority. Confusion on this issue can and has led to white replacement even in our own political movement, with nonwhites like Candace Owens, Myron Gaines, and Kanye West appropriating white Nationalist talking points to generate large engagement and financial windfalls. …

The fruit of these seeds are now apparent for all to see. Like mainstream conservatives, Christian Nationalists have been chasing the public relations boost of diverse coalitions. When a Kanye West, Candace Owens, Andrew Tate, or Sneako espouses criticism of Jews they are vaulted to greater prominence and showered with financial contributions. The vaguely “white” leaders of the coalition boast mixed-race ancestry and use it to deflect criticism. The regular stock of the Groyper movement (for instance) are often Indians, Hispanics, blacks, and even Jews who have converted to Christianity. So although this coalition often pushes back against antiwhitism and mass immigration, whites have effectively been denied a movement by their people and for their people like every other race in America has. …

Protestant commentators began to pick up on this style a bit as well. Brad Griffin, the former Communications Director for League of the South and a Charlottesville attendee, began attacking white atheists and pagans while expressing a preference for living among black Christians. …”

Jason is describing a real divide among White Nationalists.

He’s wrong in attributing it to Christian Nationalists. He’s also obviously wrong that I am on Team Antisemitism. It is also interesting that he had nothing to say about Mike Enoch and Eric Striker. When I think of the activists he is describing here who are vehemently anti-Trump and obsessed with Israel, I think of Nick Fuentes and the Groypers, TRS and the National Justice Party diaspora and to a lesser extent the “anti-Zionist” sphere of people like Lucas Gage and the Goyim Defense League.

Since around 2020, I have noticed some National Socialist types rebranding their movement as “antisemitism,” which is to say, it is about nothing but the Jewish Question, Israel, the Middle East, etc. This is every episode of The Daily Shoah that I have listened to over the past year with Mike and Sven dumping on Rightoids, Whiteoids, Christoids, creekshitters, rural retards, bumpkins, etc. It is Eric Striker and various Third Worldists glorifying Yahya Sinwar and living vicariously through Iran and Hezbollah. It is all the people bouncing off the walls in the Telegram ghettoes who I have heard about but do not follow. It is pagans like Adam Green who are “redpilled” on Christianity because they are obsessed with Jews. It is Christian in the sense only that Fuentes and his Catholic movement are part of it.

Among our faction of White Christian Southern Protestant paleocons, pretty much everyone supported Trump and has been excited about the first week of wins. I have spent much of the last year watching these people and criticizing them from a distance … the Niggercel shooting in Nashville, the GDL activist who was just indicted in Tennessee, the Groyper meltdown over the Wifejak meme, Lucas Gage losing his marbles and hallucinating about Rabbi Shmuley’s nephew plowing his wife, etc. White Protestant Christian Nationalists are divided between the Doug Wilson camp in Moscow, ID who are anti-White Zionists and the Joel Webbon-Stephen Wolfe pro-White Boy Summer camp.

Kessler’s beef here is with people like Mike Enoch, Sven, Eric Striker, Nathan Damigo, Lucas Gage, Nick Fuentes, Adam Green, and so on. Fuentes is the only nominal Christian.
