"We’re all more closely related than we know, and our family has been murdering its own.
I’d think a realization like that should send every nationalist running for the shelter of cosmopolitan liberalism. Here we will treat you as a man and a brother, no matter who you are, and nowhere else can promise that. Let’s build a polity that’s faithful to the memory of all of our ancestors."
P.S. I don't know why Kuznicki uses male-gendered terms here.

"And there were a lot more wretched-but-fertile peasants in Francia than there were paladins at the short-lived court of the emperor. When you make a family tree, you don’t get to pick only the winners. Reach back impartially, and we’re all from an exactly equal set of ancestors. …
Delving into your ancestry will not reveal that you spring from a natural aristocracy. It will show that we have all been brothers, like it or not."

Jason Kuznicki notes that geneticists find that almost everyone of some European descent descends from Charlemagne. But the same math that shows us the Charlemagne link also tells us this:
"If the most wretched peasant of Charlemagne’s empire has any descendants now living, then we are all her children, too. That’s just how this genetic math works."

They Were All Our Ancestors
Nationalism chooses sides in the most awful family drama of all time. It sides with the evildoers, and never with their victims, and teaches you to do the same.Jason Kuznicki (Liberal Currents)
"This document basically ... is fundamentally hostile to the European Union because A, it sees it as a potential bulwark against an illiberal United States aligning with autocracies, and B, it really does not want to see an integrated liberal organization succeed."

"It's a very interesting statement to just say the era of mass migration is over as a basis of American foreign policy. The era of mass migration is not over because the problems driving migration are not going away and in many cases they're getting worse."

"While the Catholic bishops may be showing signs of ambivalence, there are signs that Americans overall are sympathetic to these churches who are taking a stand. This week, PRRI released new analysis of American attitudes on immigration reform that show Americans are rejecting Trump’s dehumanizing, racist rhetoric and harsh immigration policies."

Robert P. Jones notes that though the US Catholic bishops have issued a rare statement condemning Trump's attacks on Immigrants, the archdiocese of Boston has leaned on a Catholic parish in Dedham, Massachusetts, to take down its Christmas creche, which indicts ICE for cruelty to immigrants.

"The MAGA claim that white Christians in the United States and Europe are engaged in an existential fight to protect their superior race from being overwhelmed by inferior racial stocks has roots in the U.S. that reach all the way back to the fears of white southerners in the 1850s" (continued in /7)

"The coercive powers of the state would be mobilized to curtail the rights of those who dare to deviate and entrench a tiered system of participation defined by hierarchies of race, gender, religion, wealth, and ancestry. A segregationist policy would restore white male dominance in elite institutions as well as across all spheres of American life."

"Donald Trump pursues a political project for which white nationalism serves as an organizing principle. ...
The Trumpists desire to drastically narrow the boundaries of who gets to belong, they seek to purge all others from the 'homeland.' Those who are left would be living in a society that is not only unequal but has ostracized egalitarian aspirations as heresy."

"and to fight instead for white Christian male supremacy at home and in the world. ...
That is true for Donald Trump himself also. He is not just a grumpy old man indulging in racist stereotypes, but a politician committed to a worldview shaped and organized by racism and white supremacy. What is on display here is not just personal bigotry."

"They are tied to a much broader rightwing attempt to reconceptualize national identity and drastically narrow the boundaries of who gets to belong. They are actualizations of the Right’s defining project: To roll back any progress towards egalitarian pluralism, to vanquish the very idea that America should aspire to be a nation defined by equal citizenship in a pluralistic, multiracial society," (continued in /4)

The NSS document tries to bully Europe into adopting MAGA notions of white supremacy and Christian nationalism as guiding principles. Zimmer says,
"These aren’t just a few racist outbursts or isolated escalations. These are not separate policy initiatives. These are manifestations of a worldview defined by white nationalism as its organizing principle."

Thomas Zimmer notes that after the shooting of National Guard members in D.C., Trump said that he would shut the doors of America to anyone "non-compatible with Western civilization." He then attacked Somali immigrantss and Ilhan Omar, calling them "garbage." Kristi Noem's followed by calling immigranta "foreign invaders." Stephen Miller attacked birthright ciitzenship. Then there's the new NSS document.

Trumpism Is at War with the Idea of a Citizenry of Equals
The regime’s latest racist fury is tied to the Right’s much broader attempt to redefine citizenship and national identity in service of an exclusionary white nationalistSteady
"This [NSS document] is the 'Great Replacement' theory, applied globally. It is the same might-makes-right worldview of the worst neocons, but in service of the abhorrent principle of segregation instead of democracy, and suggesting a future of American imperialism unmoored from any pretense of a belief in the equality of mankind."

"Working from the premise that Europe is facing 'civilizational erasure' because of its immigration policies and 'censorship of free speech,' the NSS proposes to focus U.S. relationships with European countries on a few nations with like-minded—right-wing, presumably—current administrations and movements."

"No foreign entrepreneur or high-skilled immigrant student will look at the US with the sense of safety, security, and opportunity that they did before January 20th. Once-secure research positions at labs, universities, and medical centers will never feel as sure-a-thing as they did."

"We now recognize and confront strains of our neighbors — especially racism and misogyny — in a way more naked and violent than most of us had believed possible in the 21st century. Decades of progress in welcoming trans people and people with disabilities and different learning styles into American life have been unwound; decades of hard-fought progress by Blacks and women in the military and government have been undone."
"Even if Trumpism fails, America is fundamentally changed. We have always told ourselves 'it can’t happen here.' But it now has — and we can never look at our country the same again. Trump has made American daily life coarser, more rude, and less welcoming to others. We have seen fundamental tears this year in the civic fabric of our country and communities."

Trump's in a Nixon-Level Danger Zone Heading Into the 2026 Midterms

"It is a the literal hijacking of our democracy. The truth of this project and its danger have been the clanging bells that could easily have been heard by those best-positioned to derail it. But it so happens that those most positioned to have headed off this moment of Constitution-defying, democracy-defying, collapse have refused to believe it."
"The white supremacist, anti-14th Amendment, post-Brown movement has the complicity or active engagement of all three branches of government as it works to undo the constitutional infrastructure of Reconstruction and the legacy of the Civil Rights Movement.
And so here we are. The agenda has been laid bare for any sentient person to see."
"We are in the midst of a full-blown effort to execute an anti-democracy project that seeks to nullify the legal, social, economic and educational apparatus designed to undergird the foundation of a multiracial democracy. …
What makes this moment particularly dangerous is that all of the stars have aligned."

"Much of the document is vague, meandering and self-contradictory. But it becomes clear and focused when it turns to Europe. Quite simply, Trump and those around him hate Europe. And they hate it because it still honors the ideals they’re abandoning in America."
"Trump wants to MAGAfy Europe....
The Trump administration has become especially hostile to Europe, precisely because the Europeans are trying to hold on to the values MAGA is trying to destroy at home.
Last week the Trump administration released its updated National Security Strategy for the United States."
