Dudes claiming they are "old stock" or "heritage" Americans. They'll even call other white people who's ancestors weren't here before the Civil War "ellis islanders" and invaders.

As someone who's ancestry has partially been here since the 1690s.. it's a crock of shit and silly as fuck.

    In a just world this Euro-larping americhud would be thrown in the gulag until he managed to pronounce the letter Æ correctly.

    Also, why can't fascists learn the basic facts about the things they fetichise? He put Greenland in his appeal to Euro patron saints, a country geographically located in North America who has no widely accepted patron saint and whose non-white Inuit population are unrelated to white Europeans who sees them as subhumans.

    Meanwhile Belgium, a Catholic country in the heart of European whiteness is missing. He includes the tiny microstates of Liechtenstein, San Marino and the Vatican City but he omits Monaco and Andorra. He includes non-independent territories like the Isle of Man and the Faroe Islands but not Åland. And since he claims to be orthodox, he probably should have included Armenia and Georgia as well.

    The whole thing reeks of lazyness and ignorance.

      Belgium wasn't an epic medieval kingdom or particularly well-known for their empire Africa, so they aren't cool enough for him

        I think Belgium has impeccable imperialist credentials in Africa, they were so genocidal in Congo that other white people thought it was too much.

      That’s the stupidest part of all this, evangelicals have started using “orthodox Christian” to describe themselves. They think it signifies that they follow a traditional/original Christianity, which is hilariously ironic that they claim that while being ignorant to actual orthodoxy.

        So these Anglo "orthodox" Christians are not even joining actual orthodox churches? They just think "orthodox" means "anti-woke extra Christian"?

          It’s pure branding; they realized that “evangelical” has a negative connotation now, so they switched to “orthodox” because they think people will have a better view of that idea.

      I also love the use of æ but then th instead of ð/þ. I don't know the word they're going for to know which letter is correct, but I figure it's meant to be Old English as that's a popular choice for Anglocentric white supremacists who don't understand either history or linguistics.

        It's stupid but that's how saxon names are written now, for reference Æthelred II (Old English: Æþelræd,[n 1] pronounced [ˈæðelræːd]; Old Norse: Aðalráðr) or Æthelwulf (Old English: [ˈæðelwuɫf])
