Intresserad av vad människor i den nationella rörelsen tycker!

Hejsan! Jag är lite nyfiken på hur människor i den nationella rörelsen i Sverige tycker och tänker. Som en person som i princip bara umgås med människor som har samma värderingar, vilka ofta är starkt anti-nationalistiska, får jag lätt en ganska slätstruken och ensidig bild.

Varför vill jag veta då? Jo, jag håller på och skriver en roman där en av karaktärerna ska vara en nationalist. Jag vill inte att den här karaktären ska bli en pappfigur utan intressanta poänger och erfarenheter, därför skulle jag vilja höra lite vad folk i den nationella rörelsen tycker och tänker och har varit med om.

Det här är lite frågorna jag tänkte mig. Men du kan också komma på egna saker du vill prata om.

Du kan antingen skriva en kommentar här där du svarar på någon av frågorna, eller så kan du skriva direkt till mig. Kom ihåg att hålla det anonymt och utan detaljer som du inte själv är bekväm med att dela med dig av!

"När började Sverige bli viktigt för dig?"

"Minns du första gången du tänkte att något hade gått förlorat?"

"Hur såg Sverige ut när du var barn?"

"Vad gör någon svensk?"

"Finns det någon som du själv tvekar inför om du skulle kalla svensk?"

"Vad tycker dina föräldrar och omgivningen om din politik?"

"Vilken svensk historisk person tycker du om?"

"Vad tycker du om Gustav Vasa?"

"Vad i dagens Sverige älskar du?"

"Vad skulle du aldrig vilja återställa från det gamla Sverige?"

"Vad har vänstern rätt om?"

"När skäms du för människor på din egen sida?"

"Har du någonsin låtit bli att berätta vad du tycker eftersom du visste hur folk skulle reagera?"

Actual interesting texts on race? (Thoughts on Sam Kriss' latest)

I just read Sam Kriss latest on non-whites and Hitler (link here: https://www.damagemag.com/p/everyone-loves-hitler ). And it got me thinking: if you're like me and was a OG Bernie 2016 head (I'm not even American, lol, but we Europeans are just downstream from any American who pisses anyway, let's not kid ourselves) the concept of race was like a red rag to a bull. Or at least the misuse of race. We even felt like the race essentialist identitarians were responsible for the right wing race resurgence. All they talked about was race, and not even in an interesting way. I think that was the main issue: it was cultural appropriation, white guilt, PoC's as magical talismans to end any discussion; the whole tenor of the conversation of race was off putting.

But what is the good stuff about race? Obviously there's a lot to say on the subject. For example the Field sisters excellent Racecraft, a book that was very dense and interesting - tho I'm not sure what to take away from it! The strange thing was also that EVERY race essentialist book name checked Racecraft even though it seemed to counter everything they stood for.

I also liked Corey Robins book on Clarence Thomas, which has a lot to say about race (Thomas used to be a black nationalist on the left; Robin unpicks some of the ways in which his racial pessimism can easily fit into the right's worldview).

So tl;dr - read Kriss' article, he's always fun to read. And let me know what you've read on race that's been actually illuminating.

Thoughts on the whole trans thing

I'm sure this has been discussed to death already, but one of the things that alienates me from the modern "left" is the debate around trans rights and all that. I don't care at all if you want to wear a dress, if your "display" of gender is unorthodox - seriously, couldn't care less. Ru Paul's Drag Race is a lot of fun. But I have to say ... I just think the gender critical view is so much more thought through and serious? Are we really helping women by removing hard won rights to female only spaces, and how exactly are we going to write laws and policies that only let the nice "trans women" into female spaces, when like 99.8 procent of sexual harassment are done by men? I just don't get it at all and have never heard it explained in a way that makes sense. Like listen to someone like Helen Joyce in good faith and tell me this isn't a totally reasonable person rather than a frothing reactionary (I can link to an interview or lecture with her). Academic discussions about how complicated gender is are all well and good (seriously, I'm willing to engage with it) but when it comes to how society is organized I just don't understand what good it does to throw out biological sex when it carries so much weight in life outcomes. Why can't we just adhere to the older leftist view that gender stereotypes are nonsense?
