There's a different choice than a civil war that's possible if folks want to split into smaller countries.

No country is indivisible if folks want it that way.

But I don't think there will be a white homeland any time soon. Unless Idaho or Montana decides that is what it wants for itself.

Thinking about it for less than a few seconds, I don't see why they shouldn't have such a country, myself. It might help relieve the tension if white people who want to see only white faces have somewhere to go. Maybe make an all black country too for the people that want to live like that. And a native American one, although those already exist eg the Navajo Nation.

For myself, I like more of a mixture. But making a multi-racial, multi-cultural country work smoothly hasn't necessarily been something anyone has achieved yet. It's a project we work on. And I don't necessarily think "Hitler" when people aren't happy with the way things are.

White supremacy is silly, dangerous and hateful, of course. But I don't think anyone should feel ashamed of their skin colour, or imagine white privilege is a thing either. If folks claim there's white privilege, they shouldn't be surprised that the folks they accuse resist and/or decide they want to live in a different country where that won't stand.

White supremacist praise of the Taliban takeover concerns US officials

CNN)As the United States-backed government in Afghanistan fell to the Taliban and US troops raced to leave the country, White supremacist and anti-government extremists have expressed admiration for what the Taliban accomplished, a worrying development for US officials who have been grappling with the threat of domestic violent extremism.

That praise has also been coupled with a wave of anti-refugee sentiment from far-right groups, as the US and others rushed to evacuate tens of thousands of people from Afghanistan by the Biden administration's August 31 deadline.

Several concerning trends have emerged in recent weeks on online platforms commonly used by anti-government, White supremacist and other domestic violent extremist groups, including "framing the activities of the Taliban as a success," and a model for those who believe in the need for a civil war in the US, the head of the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Intelligence and Analysis, John Cohen, said on a call Friday with local and state law enforcement, obtained by CNN.
