I see America as a distinct European nation, its homeland existing outside of Europe, but still a part of greater Europe.

There’s essentially two types of Americans in the “Dissident Right.”

There are Americans who complain incessantly about how their country is in a fallen state, lamenting the current condition of the country and the nation, cursing at god and the entire universe for having been born “‘murican.” But they rarely think about improving anything around them — or even trying to improve their own lives — as long as they are living within the US border, a country the size of Europe. Their main solution to any and all problems is living elsewhere in another country, where the grass is magically greener because its outside of the US border. It’s the easy way out for people that don’t understand or care that outside of North America, they are foreigners who have abandoned their homeland and home continent. We haven’t even had a war, famine or any other serious crisis yet, but these type of Americans are all ready to flee despite still having a relatively high level of security and material wealth. These are the weakest of the weak!

Then there are Americans who confront struggle head-on, determined to fight for their homeland and nation, even to the point of sacrificing their lives. They understand that nations are neither built nor preserved by transients and quitters who abandon hardship, that are always searching of greener pastures, but rather by stalwarts who remain steadfast and unyielding in the face of adversity.

You’d be surprised to learn that as a young man I was of the mindset of the former. However, now that I’ve had so many years to contemplate what it means to belong to a nation and have a homeland — and the ability to fight for it as a people — I can only identify with the latter.

What homeland do Americans have outside of the North American continent? Americans can return to their ancestral homeland (Europe) and perhaps experience a higher quality of life in many ways — certainly the cheese is better — but an American in Europe (or elsewhere) is still an American.
