White Nationalism is being increasingly used as an interchangeable synonym for White Supremacy.
It's done to give American Nationalism a negative connotation. Woke speech code.

There's in the neighborhood of one and a half million members in the military.

Re: Orange Duce
Exactly the kind of response you deserve for the crap you're spreading around and I'm glad you're not surprised it's coming from me. Seven guys who are under investigation = pervasive in the military and being taught at the military academies. I'd bet you've got more than seven of these types at Cornell University outside of the ROTC unit, which is of course made up entirely of these types.
Just to put you at ease so you can be at peace during the holiday season, don't worry about the fine young men and women in uniform, they're willing to sacrafice for you and protect your right to spread the kind of schidt you're spreading. We're all okay.

Typical bullschidt from someone who knows all about it because he read an article.
The military academies are coming to Ithaca to recruit some white supremacists, Cornell is swarming with them too. It's an awful place...skinheads and swastika tatts everywhere down there.

and the definition of "nationalist"
"a person who strongly identifies with their own nation and vigorously supports its interests, especially to the exclusion or detriment of the interests of other nations."
Want to be patriotic, love your country, be willing to defend it?
Fantastic.
Want to be a "nationalist" and I want to know whether you're just ignorant of what that means and you really mean "patriot". I'm willing to give most folks the benefit of the doubt.
Tell me you're a "white nationalist" and I know you're not ok. Same for "black nationalist".
There are a heck of a lot more of the former than the latter, and the FBI and Homeland Security consider them to be a very serious threat...to Americans.
Rich Lowry is a smug intellectual, who pretends not to be racist.
His argument about "American Nationalism" is fully aware of the misuse of the word, that "American Patriotism" does not equal "American Nationalism".
He's simply trying to provide intellectual cover. It's a fail.
Salty, you're playing the same game. You know better.
So, no benefit of doubt at this point.
This is exactly the sort of thing that I said is so dangerous as we move ever close to authoritarianism, the intellectual endorsement.

Re: Orange Duce
Makes no sense, I certainly have no connection with Dartmouth and how anyone could think any differently about that is wayyy beyond me. It is quite precious though that a Cornell boy would be inserting ego into the discussion. Kettle-pot, glass houses and all that stuff.
Maybe 88 will come back out to play a little more and explain it all to us....unless, of course, he's afraid of all the military white supremacists out here.

Actually no, CU88 did mean the Army or military overall...
No insult to my Big Green in Hanover.
We have some posters on here who seem to think that being in the military or a veteran automatically imbues one with qualities of character not found elsewhere in society, as well as some sort of immunity from critique.
I happen to quite agree with you DMac that its quite likely that we can find knuckleheads and idiots and racists and jerks at all sorts of places other than military academies.
I also quite doubt that those running such military institutions skew significantly more racist than their peers at other institutions.
That said, I'd not be at all surprised to learn that the views on such issues of those in the military reflect the views of the demographic from which they came, at least on intake. And, yeah, that does tend to skew more to the demographic most likely to reflect considerable bigotry.
But I'd also like to think (you guys have more background can probably help illuminate this) that the military and service tends to help folks break down prejudices if only by greater exposure to one another, dependence upon one another.
Now, the folks in the White House, that's another matter altogether.
