Originally published at: An Arkansas Group’s Effort to Build a White Ethnostate Is Part of a Wider US Movement - TPM – Talking Points Memo
This article is part of TPM Cafe, TPM’s home for opinion and news analysis. It was originally published at The Conversation. In October 2023, a group calling itself Return to the Land established its first “Whites only community” in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas. They followed that with a second enclave nearby in 2025. The group, which describes…

I think I can be safe in my assumptions about these guys based on where they are and who’s doing it. They’re dumb and share a family trunk. Check for webbed fingers and toes.

“at least peacefully” is kind of the core problem with these kkklowns: they lack a complete civil skill set and will inevitably turn to what they know best: violence; oppression and force.

The “white supremacists” prove that they are inferior every time they open their mouths.

Exactly how are they monitoring the genetically and cultural superiority when they don’t trust science?

Don’t expect logical or moral consistency among this mentality. The – let’s call it worldview – of these people is what drives the support of Trump. For them, change is threatening. People they despise are gaining in ascendancy, and it scares the bejeebers out of them.
With them, there’s always been this group or that who is “taking over the country”. They’ve been at it for many decades. They’re doing a piss poor job of taking it over, because they started many decades ago and have failed so far.

Their goals and language are almost word for word the same you hear from any Zionist whose goal is an ethnically pure Israel. You could go back into the story with a word editor and do a find and replace for the word White with Zionist and it could be a story about Israel. For many of us who are on this board we read about these people in Arkansas and it induces a little bit of dread but also a little bit of well deserved mockery. But they have not executed a genocide and they are not being funded by American billionaires, corporations and protected by the US government. A previous poster on this article pointed out their moral inconsistency. Let us all also be morally consistent.

Having no membersip in any organized religion these folks would reject me.
Just as well.

Their brains have not left the early tribalism of the human race, you know, back in Africa where we all came from. I’d hate to break these poor bastards’ hearts, but they are all black, all Africans. Yup, those proud white racists are Negroes, or, if you like, that less acceptable word for such, you know, the word they use so easily. (I do believe that all this nonsense about calling it the “n-word” is utterly childish, but use it and the ‘white’ establishment won’t publish your comment. But the light-skinned racists use it all the time, don’t they? And it’s what they are. All humans are descended from Africans, thus we are all…well, you know.)

Never needed science. Just keep it in the family and you know the line is “pure”.
That is why they need to “marry” their sisters, cousins or daughters. Been doing that for generations.

Nice post. It takes some education and some sang-froid to look upon oneself and one’s tribe with any kind of objectivity or facsimile thereof. I suspect these ethnos types think the world has always been with them at the center of it and outsiders are just social climbers and parvenus.

Worldwide marriage to blood relatives is about 50% average.
Son, I live in Appalachia. I know of second cousins marrying, and that is legal in this State, but what I am talking about is the kind of incest that occurs regularly in the rural areas of Appalachia.

This should be nice to have only so-called white men doing all the manual work in these racially exclusive communities. I can hardly wait to see who wants to staff the dairy twice a day, 365 days a year. Bonus stupid: women aren’t allowed to have jobs and must stay home and brood spawn. Women typically get paid around 80% of what men get and work twice as hard to prove themselves. In diversity we find resilience.

Just making themselves easier to find in the reckoning.

there are a lot of “white” nationalists whose white credentials, in my opinion, are highly suspect. Why should I, as an actual white Anglo Saxon protestant, have to share my country with a beer-swilling, Lederhosen-clad Kraut like Eric Schmitt; or a whiskey swilling leprechaun like Steve Bannon, both of whom, along with JV Dunce, are undoubtedly taking their orders from a shadowy cabal in the Vatican? And don’t get me started on Nick Fuentes.
How is a whites-only “private membership association” legally any different from a whites-only country club?
We can all laugh at these guys and their goofy White ethnostate but when you swap out the word "‘White” for “Zionist” some of us will reflexively come up with bizarre logical contortions to say its entirely different.
