Republican Steve King retweets neo-Nazis. Again.

This is how you keep a strong ethnostate.



Much respect.


Your post is very OT. I will indulge it for a moment though. This video is complaining about only one issue causing friction between Japan and South Korea-- the ownership of the tiny island of Dok-Do (known in Japan as "Takeshima") and its surrounding islets (basically just some boulders sticking out of the water.) On some western maps the island is known as the Liancourt Rocks. Anyway, Koreans are very sensitive about the topic of Dok-Do, perhaps irrationally so, but they do have good reason to believe that they are the rightful owners of the island, many of which were outlined in the video that you posted. It is an ongoing source of tension between the two countries that they both lay claim to the island.

Is the cause of Dok-do a ploy to unifiy ethnic cohesion or a legitimate political squabble? I personally think the dispute is a real issue. Some Koreans or Japanese people may use the issue to reinforce their own racist perceptions, but I don't think the issue exists or was created for the purpose of establishing or perpetuating a "strong ethnostate."

The fact that he used the term "ethnostate" should have been a clue.

I love how you almost never directly address what people say.

It's almost as if you're trying to carefully avoid saying something.

Why do you suppose that is?

Why this need to be so indirect about everything?

He doesn't want people to misconstrue him as a Nazi white supremacist alt-right identitarian.

I often argue that Republicans are protofascists rather than cryptofascists, but I'm not so sure in this case.
