Just got back from morning exercise, was trying to respond every 2 minutes while I whipped up breakfast for the family. Apologies on misreading you - that's my bad. I just re-read it with a bit more focus, thanks for being polite about my mistake.
>So if there's an overwhelming majority of whites in a democratic country... It goes without saying that they potentially have de facto more influence decisional/political power from which is derived authority and status
Completely agreed but I don't see this in many White majority nations. To me, it feels like Whites hold the least amount of influence from a demographic perspective than other races.
You bring up really good points. My main goal with this post was to help make ground on being able to talk about White identity (our contributions, our fears, our dreams and our challenges). I have found it often gets lost when people bring in other terms like supremacy - which does not need to be part of a conversation of White identity.

Yeah it's a thing of the past now, almost, except in iceland maybe, but do they have a real ethnic consciousness, in iceland? Last time I checked pro immigration movements were trending... They changed the law to accommodate one jew... Which rather point to a "no" for answer.
Jews have a much higher ethnic consciousness than whites, and they are far fewer. Is there a correlation? Maybe whites don't have something to bind them to each others as jews do?
You bring up a very interesting case of Iceland. I am with you on that being a stronghold of White identity - but with a population of 360k, it can fall fast.

There is a consciousness of jews that White's do not have. However, that may be changing due to assimilation, intermarriage, and low birthrates according to: https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/books/first/d/dershowitz-jew.html
I do believe there is correlation in feeling threatened and grouping together (which is what I am doing now). I think when numbers are lower, it can be easier to agree on the threat and spread information. Jews also have a majority minority benefit, which I suggest you researching if you're interested. They have the ability to condemn other cultures and promote theirs, whereas Whites speak one truth about another culture or promote theirs and they are instantly labeled racist.
Thank you for the interesting conversation.
