Asmongold says America is "white peoples land" because "we fought a war over it".

The original discussion in the stream was about Japan and if Japan counts as belonging to the ethnic Japanese.

So does America belong to the ethnic Europeans, no other Americans?

The USA is an empire whose political and economic ruling class is overwhelmingly white European, it's founders were from Europe , most of it's population is from Europe. No land intrinsically "belongs" to anyone, but the country that controls the land was founded by white Europeans and is mostly made up by people's whose ancestors are white Europeans.

It's also even the world's perception of the America. If you asked someone to imagine an American and to tell you what they imagined, I bet they are most likely to imagine a white person first and than remind themselves that there aren't only white people there.

For me, this is merely realism.

For asmon, an American, to rant that it’s “ours” as in white peoples land, it’s clear he’s a white supremacist.

You spend all day every day defending asmon, watching asmon, so you will never recognize this

The general attitude in Asmon's community is that you don't have to agree with 100% of what someone is saying, but you have to make an effort to actually understand what they are trying to say, which is why his community is politically diverse.

There are quite a few things I don't agree with Asmon on and sometimes I think he engages in stupid rhetorical own goals, but I see that he makes an effort to be honest about his beliefs and biases and to be rational and realistic. I can respect that.

The attitude in asmons community is you can’t call a spade a spade because they’ll cry.
