Somehow the same people who get very worked up about "Cultural Appropriation" are so very extremly offended when some people of certain cultures want to preserve theirs too.

I don't have a strong opinion on immigration either way, like anything it can be a force for good or a distaster depending on how it's handled. But if there's one thing I hate, it's taboos and buzz words, mixed with hypocrisy for good measure. There is nothing inherently wrong about opposing immigration or disliking immigrants, your country is like your house, you are perfectly justified on not wanting guests in it, even if it's for 'wrong' (read : racist) reason. This doesn't mean I like or hold those opinons, but they are natural and justified, and people have the right to hold them.

It’s common to see it everywhere. It’s very common to hear blood and soil rhetoric wrt black people or Native Americans, but it’s called progressive and liberal but not xenophobic for some reasons.

I believe it is called progressive and liberal because African Americans and Native Americans have historically been enslaved or (nearly) exterminated by Europeans in North America.

I came to ask why it's OK for a japanese to be ethnic-nationalist but it's not OK for a european?

What's wrong with being ethnic-nationalist?

Nothing is wrong with it. Don’t give the idiots who are bleating at it/you even a second of attention.

Europeans are amazing and should be held up high.

They should stop and reverse the importation of the third world and remain European.

I don't believe there is anything wrong with ethnonationalism for smaller countries it is even good unifying force that can lead to social democracies... Which are relatively decent places to live in sense of quality of live, low crime rates and so on.

Not that this is an option for all countries, specially those that don't have unified history or culture. For example with USA it might make sense for native population.

A lot of the immigrants to Europe are ill behaved. No one has problems with Japanese immigrants in Europe.

There's quite a few dogwhistlers here for sure but I'd say it's availability bias - people comment more on threads about things they care about. Id say the community skews libertarian, not far right.
