They pretty much agree with their enemy's frame and are just exasperated liberals who are tired of identity politics in video game journalism. That's it. They aimed to convince neutral liberals and others that they weren't actually racist, homophobic, transphobic or whatever.
Most of the actual GamerGaters are pro-homosexual, pro-tranny, etc. etc.
A nationalist movement will have to come to grips with racial and ethnic identity. After all, what is a nation? It is its people. It can be done without becoming a Jerry Springer-esque parody movement of Hollywood Nazis and Klanners by simply ignoring the more extreme ridiculous voices like the left does. They never highlight the open communists in their movement nor do they disavow them. They ignore and keep fighting for their goals. They are not shamed by conservatives pointing out the commies and basically don't go on defense about it, they just attack through the criticism. A "no enemies to the right" strategy is necessary to get anywhere otherwise infighting and petty squabbles will bring such a movement to a grinding halt.
Throwing the more extreme people out of the boat immediately shows your enemy that you give a fuck what they think and have bought into their frame. At that point you've already lost and things will continue to spiral downward. Just ignore them instead.
The reason I brought up GamerGate was because it was the first spontaneous movement against Cultural Marxism that succeeded in its goals - despite the entire narrative being set against it.
Most of the people involved were as you say, but you wouldn't think it by the way the media handled it.
This is obviously much more serious and will call for greater spunk, but to not learn the lessons of GamerGate, both good and bad, as we continue on would be foolish. For whatever its faults, it showed us tactics to use and win with, and it woke up more people to the narrative than anything ever had before.
We must have rolled in different circles though. The people I rolled with were pretty hardcore for the most part. Maybe I was just in an insider's group, I guess.
We probably did but overall the movement had some small goals that it didn't fully achieve. It's sort of petered out and alternative media has developed to cater to GamerGaters who don't want to read SJW gaming journalism. That's fine, but that sort of thing is only part of what's going on here.
Right now as we speak there is a backlash against "conservative" media with #NRORevolt. Jonah Goldberg is having his "gamers are dead" whining moment. You'll find a lot of white nationalists and people you'd probably dislike saying some extreme things for full troll effect but you'll also find guys like Cernovich and Ricky_Vaughn99 making salient points and taking down the cuckservatives.
By the way, #cuckservative originated on the "far-right" and is explicitly about pointing out how mainstream conservatism has sold its soul to become a sort of rootless cosmopolitan ideology where they accept leftist ideas on racial egalitarianism to justify open borders policies that will actually demographically and politically harm themselves and the majority for the benefit of the Chamber of Commerce crowd.
#NRORevolt is us calling them on their bullshit for being a faggy cuckservative magazine. It all started with Jonah's recent article "
No Movement That Embraces Trump Can Call Itself Conservative." This is them trying their usual Buckleyite cuckery where they get to define what conservatism is and who's allowed in. In past years they probably would've succeeded since they purged Steve Sailer, Ann Coulter, Joseph Sobran, Rushton, Pat Buchanan, and Mark Steyn for being too nationalistic and espousing wrongthink on race. But after decades of consistently losing they don't have much power anymore.
As for WNism? It's more nuanced than you think. I doubt many here would consider CH the stereotypical Hollywood Nazi. Obviously there are a lot of users who don't like him or whatever for various reasons but he's no white knight who puts white women on a pedestal. Those do exist but, again, it's mainly nobodies and it's best to ignore 'em and only fire on them if they fire on you.
There are guys like
Greg Johnson and
Richard Spencer, who take more intellectual approaches to these issues that I think you would find interesting.
But yes, nationalism is really inseparable from race and ethnicity. The US wouldn't be the same United States tomorrow if we brought in all the population of the third world. Just like Europe may very well not be Europe anymore if they keep bringing in millions from the Middle East and Africa. Nations are defined by their people. The key is fostering a sort of positive nationalism, which is sometimes difficult because of how long it's been attacked and vilified by the powers that be. Hatred shouldn't really be any part of it because it's important to realize that every group and peoples have their own interests, including ours, and they're usually pretty logical. No one should hate anyone for that or competition. I don't hate most of the migrants flooding Europe or the illegal aliens coming across the US-Mexico border. If I was them I'd probably be doing the same thing.
The only people who should be hated are those who deliberately seek to do damage to our people in the name of insane, unrealistic universalist leftist ideals and pathetic cowards (or cucks) who have bought into that nonsense and want to sell us out for votes (which won't even work) and the approval of our enemies.
