LETS TALK ABOUT NATIONAL IDENTITY AND TINKZORG
Tinkzorg is a pretty large twitter account who has recently come under fire after he doxxed himself and people found out he’s black
From what I can tell he’s half black with a black father, and he grew up in rural Sweden. Seems to me that he grew up with his mom not his dad, but this is speculation
At some point this guy moved out of rural Sweden and to Stockholm. These are important things to know when analyzing his takes -

Hes come under a lot of fire for these sorts of takes. His basic thesis is that white nationalism is kind of incoherent and that localism makes more sense -

In my observations though, where he goes wrong is in assuming that American identity hasn’t been massively tampered with to the point where within the country it means nothing
If I give him the benefit of the doubt, he is looking from the outside in at Sweden and saying « well duh american is xyz cultural thing that I recognize »
In reality in my interactions with normie Americans they genuinely think a passport is all you need to qualify as american
(If I don’t give him the benefit of the doubt he knows this and is ignoring it because needing blood in order to be of a nationality would be bad for him) -

Now, he’s kind of right about this, but in my opinion this is just some semantics.
Yes, « white nationalism » is incoherent because you can’t really have a proper nation with two completely different cultures work out even if the two cultures are both white
(I would know, I live in Canada, where this exact thing was tried)
He’s also right that there’s an extent to which white nationalists in america are rejecting the culture they grew up in or are willfully ignorant about how the majority of heritage Americans are and even somewhat reject that constituency. A good example of this is Nick Fuentes pretending that American identity is in any way connected to Catholicism -

The problem for Americans (from what I can tell) is that they’re so mutted a this point that they can’t readily identify what they are and so their culture can kind of be pulled out from under them and replaced and there’s no good defense against that
Hes also right about whiteness forming in cities but I think he’s mistaking the cause here
When you’re with one other white person and you’re otherwise surrounded by minorities you and that person are suddenly going to have a lot more in common than everybody else
You can see this happen in real time with Asians in america. Back in their countries they were a specific ethnicity but after a couple of generations they all group together because the Americanized version of their ethnicities all resemble each other
To say there’s no such thing as white American identity would be as silly as saying there’s no such thing as African American identity -

This guy probably has a terminal case of « I’m black but I grew up around only Swedish people and am very culturally Swedish therefore black people can be Swedish »
He definitely hasn’t experienced the levels of immigration america has that make entire areas completely unidentifiable as American
We have these zones in Quebec too (specifically Montreal) and nobody in their right mind would call those people French Canadian
