White nationalism--and any nationalism for that matter--is simply socialism blended with social/racial conservatism. The vast majority of nationalists--Trump included--are far-left economically.
Yes trump is complete statist on trade. In the same vein as Bernie
And the OP was more than willing to take from the social contract when he want to use food stamps but now balks at paying the taxes that help others the same way he was helped.
Paying taxes is not an all or nothing proposition.
Just because I agree that a certain amount of taxation is necessary for the legitimate functions of government doesn't mean that I must agree in perpetuity to any and all forms of taxation for any and all use that Big Government sees fit.
"Render unto Ceasar what is Ceasar's" doesn't mean that Ceasar gets to decide what is Ceasar's and what it mine.
Good for you. I'm being sincere. Voting is a civic duty we all have.
I voted democratic for the first time in my life last week when I voted straight democrat down the ballot. hadn't even heard of half the people, but I didn't care. I saw the (D) next to their name so I bubbled it in.
America is such a beautiful country as all our voices can be heard.
Great post. This might be the first or second time I've ever agreed with you.
ETA: And I voted straight R this time, and I have never done that before.

You clearly don't know what social contract means. Social contract doesn't refer to the welfare state, it refers to the notion of giving some rights in exchange for protection of other fundamental rights. It does not fall under free food, healthcare, housing, or other gibsmedats. It mainly refers to basic fundamental services like protection, IE police, firefighters, etc of your right to live.
As for your critique of the welfare state, I am absolutely not opposed to it. I think you need to get a life if you really went that far in my post history to try to criticize me. I was literally on food stamps as a starving college student for less than a semester. As an attorney on a higher than average salary, I'll be paying way more into the system throughout my lifetime than I'll ever get back so I'm not sure what point you are trying to make by bringing up the fact that I used a social service temporarily.
