They were liberal nationalists who happened to agree with the "white" part. That makes them different from white nationalists (fascists) as liberal nationalism lacks the bite to protect the values and heritage. Conflating the two is dangerous.FOS » 19 Feb 2022, 6:40 pm » wrote: ↑ bear in mind that the 'founding fathers' as deep as they were into liberal philosophy, REVOLTED against the overly diverse british empire and constructed a country that only allowed citizenship to white people.

Liberal nationalism was a great experiment while it lasted but we can chalk liberal nationalism up as a failure (unless your goal is to create some kind of neoliberal "utopia" like California...massive inequality + poverty combined with a small brain trust of techies and oligarchs...very high GDP with low trust)
Liberal nationalism contained the seeds of its own destruction as (((bad actors and groups))) eventually worm their way in.
