Is this a serious question?What makes them white nationalists?
well, a lot of these guys are white nationalists, so I doubt they care. They'll read something like that and go "you know, I guess I am, so what".I know there is zero chance that the people who need to read this are going to read it, but I'll just leave this here.

Turning Point USA's history of racism and white nationalist ties
Charlie Kirk’s youth-focused right-wing organization Turning Point USA has become increasingly radicalized over the last decade, frequently leaning in to Christian fundamentalist rhetoric and lies about the 2020 election. On campuses across the country, TPUSA chapters and members have embroiled...www.mediamatters.org
I've heard him talk about Democrats wanting to flood America with illegals to disrupt voting demographics. But if he was such a huge racist, why would he welcome minorities into TPUSA? Why would he host a Young Black Leaders Summit and bring hundreds of black kids to the White House?when you go into stopping the "great replacement strategy", you are a white nationalist org.

He weighed in on UK muslims, american muslims, immigrants, etc with it. Using the "Great Replacment Theory" explicitly as a term is old school white nationalism that has a deep history ("white genocide"). He's done it on facebook posts, on his show, over and over. Look up the term and its history. More than a dog whistle. Tucker does it too. They are just trying to mainstream it and create a permission structure. Adopting it was also helpful for him to keep the Groypers from fracturing TPUSA's base when they were having the "Great Groyper War" and hounding him at events.I've heard him talk about Democrats wanting to flood America with illegals to disrupt voting demographics.

You are welcome to pretend that TPUSA is not a white Christian nationalist organization if you want.Blue-anon.
I appreciate your rational answer, but I'm not seeing what you're seeing here. Kirk actively tried to get American youth involved in the voting process, regardless of race. He spoke out against illegal immigrants being allowed to vote and was correct to do so. He believed there was an effort by Democrats to shift voter demographics via allowing in illegal immigrants and battled against it. Just calling him racist for this just doesn't really jive with many of his other messages. He spoke out, numerous times, about how the government pushed black people into poverty through incentivizing single parenthood. Here he is speaking about it if you care to watch.

As for the "one of the good ones" strategy, tokens have been spent in white nationalism for a while. They allow for the user to mainstream racist ideas, provide cover, and utilise them as shields through sock puppeting. He also used it as a strategic tool at an attempt to fracture the DNC voting block to favour the RNC.
To what extent any of these influencers personally practice racism or believe it doesn't really matter, it's what they do with their platforms. There is a lot of populist energy in America and abroad due to economic anxiety and income inequality. But rather than galvanise people around class warfare to get more social programs like healthcare, Kirk chose billionaires and took their money and doubled down on capitalism as is. Billionaires will back white nationalist projects like TPUSA because it keeps the heat off of them, redirects that anger towards immigrants and 'welfare queens' and advances their tax and deregulation platform. The same reason these tech billionaires (who previously supported the DNC) love Trump right now - to get AI deregulation, shut down things like the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and get a big beautiful tax break.
Whether Charlie was a true racist or not in his personal life, doesn't matter, he deliberately and explicitly trafficked in it and got paid millions to do it. It was a tool he weaponised for his project because it worked and benefited his backers. People like Tatum and Owens were useful in accomplishing that.

I never followed Candace Owen's but now every time her name comes up she seems absolutely insane. Its like she cant have a normal take on anything. Pretty soon shes gonna be talking about Liberal Lizard People among us.

It's mind-boggling.
