One of the biggest problems is Knepper’s reading of the racialism of the Odinists and Nordic cultists is a freakish form of “collectivism.” It is not. In creating a dichotomy of “individualism” and “collectivism,” Knepper is using the concepts of Ayn Rand, who was a bit disconnected from what really powers most people.

Tribalism and territorialism is natural amongst all people. If you look throughout the world, wars based on ethno-nationalism are so common that one would have to be in total denial to say its not part of the human character. “Individualism,” on the other hand, is an academic concept. In advanced capitalist economies, supposedly the cornerstone of Randian individualism, niche markets regularly prop up around a particular identity. In even the most liberal cities of the world, people silently self-segregate.

But, your very obvious fears about that day coming is very telling, and the fact that you are Jewish has nothing to do with that.
