It's Not Okay to be White Nationalist

AUDACIOUS EPIGONE • MARCH 30, 2019

 

Some nationalisms are more equal than others:

“Going forward,” the company announced in a blog post on Wednesday, “while people will still be able to demonstrate pride in their ethnic heritage, we will not tolerate praise or support for white nationalism and separatism.”

…

White nationalism and white separatism are hazy concepts. Facebook initially considered them in the same category of Basque separatism in Spain, the Zionist movement, or Malcolm X-style black separatism. However, the latest decision seems to place explicitly white movements into a category of their own.

For those who do not want to continue to freely create content for monetization by corporations who despise them, get off social media.

For those nefarious types who want to throw sandbergs in the gears of Facebook’s efforts to stamp out hate, replacing “white” with “Israeli” is a place to start. The phrase “Israeli nationalism” is very infrequently used in the US, so the substitution won’t disrupt conversational flow once adopted. Instead of “whites deserve their own homeland” write “Israelis deserve their own homeland”, instead of “whites are under attack” write “Israelis are under attack”, etc.

Eagerly anticipate Facebook coming under leftist pressure to address the change and subsequently tweaking its algorithm to block the aforementioned Israeli phrases–would they dare?–and sending users attempting to input them to a mental rehabilitation site. Watch the coalition of the marginalized twist itself into a pretzel trying to wrestle with the fallout of Muslims and black nationalists cheering the additional ban while Ben and Bari become apoplectic.
