Regarding the debate around the racism of the multiple factions of the right, the comments in this Breitbart article are worth a look. The article itself, not so interesting. What is especially interesting to me here is the assertion by many commenters that *any* assertion of race is a liberal sentiment. Both overt white supremacists and its critics (BLM) are labeled tools of the left. The expression of a nationalism that is *passively* (rather than explicitly) defined as white, heterosexual, and misogynist is seen here *opposing* explicit expressions of white supremacy as a racially-defined nationalism (that also justifies any eugenic, colonial or imperial acts). “Mainstream" conservatives seem to just want to deny race as a historically produced reality, while continuing to benefit from it. It seems like both BLM and neo-nazis prevent them from being able to reproduce the myths of assimilation and meritocratic freedom, obviously for very different reasons.
