STRENGTH IS THE RELATIVE AVOIDANCE OF DIVERSITY



Every now and then the blue check marks on Twitter pipe up with the mindless mantra that “Diversity is our Strength.”

Erm…yes and no.

THE GREAT ST. PADDY'S DAY RUMBLE



It started off innocently enough, with a Matt Damon quote used by Richard Spencer to extol the beauty and tragedy of America's former WASP elite in his article Kiss Me I'm WASP Why I Can't Stand St. Patrick's Day.

But, unfortunately, those of Irish descent – and other non-WASPs – in the Radix comment boards kicked off and started breaking the internet furniture over the tricky questions of White identity and whether St. Patrick’s Day was a celebration of the underdog and manifestation of the untermensch.

Disturbingly for Spencer, this little tiff, by showing the fractiousness of Whites over something as basic as identity, calls into question the vision of a grand White nationalism that Radix and NPI favours.
