Very Simple and straight forward. Here's a definition of White Nationalism from Wikipedia:
White nationalism is a type of nationalism or pan-nationalism which holds the belief that white people are a race and seeks to develop and maintain a white national identity. Its proponents identify with and are attached to the concept of a white nation. White nationalists say they seek to ensure the survival of the white race, and the cultures of historically white states. They hold that white people should maintain their majority in majority-white countries, maintain their political and economic dominance, and that their cultures should be foremost. Many white nationalists believe that miscegenation, multiculturalism, immigration of nonwhites and low birth rates among whites are threatening the white race, and some argue that it amounts to white genocide.
The poll is secret and knowing how difficult it is to hold unacceptable views, I will not make the results public. I realise the poll is imperfect and there is a lot of shades of opinion but this is better than nothing.
This is not about shaming people but is about hopefully making it easier to discuss the subject of race on both sides. I think the value here is simply figuring out how many White Nationalists are on RF, accepting that there is a presence on here (I think) and how we interact with them. Simply shaming and humiliating people, no matter how unacceptable their views are, will not change their minds especially if there are legitimate grievances feeding a problematic ideology. the attraction of extreme ideologies often comes from a refusal by mainstream politics to accept that certain problems exist combined with personal grievances that mean a person feels their voice cannot be ignored. Calling someone a fascist is not an insult to someone who believes in fascism. the discussion has to go beyond simply condemning people and trying to find ways to win them back over from extreme points of view.
