Perhaps it's that I see the distinction between the European and American Right as being essentially backwards: Europe has culture; I can certainly understand, say, a German who wishes to conserve the culture that produced a Goethe and a Schopenhauer and a Mann, even if I regard the nationalists identification of the Westphalian nation with that culture as arbitrtary.

America has no culture, and this is reflected in the case history comparisons of America's farthest-right organization, the Klan, with the fascist movements of Europe. None of the leading Nazis were ignorant men: Hitler was a typical middle-class Austrian intelligence; Goebbels was a novelist; Goering was afforded higher education by virtue of his aristocratic heritage. The movement further attracted intellectuals like Julius Evola and Martin Heidegger.

This is obviously different from the Klan, a lowest-common-denominator group. Even the non-racialist Right in America seems incredibly dumb in comparison to the European Right.

Lol. Heard of Woodrow Wilson?
