Whoah there:

Reactionary != White Nationalist




Sure. You can substitute “white nationalist” for “any kind of reactionary, including white nationalist” in my previous comment, if you find that more palatable.


" opposed to political or social change

* a reactionary government * reactionary politics"

That's about half of the people in most countries, so your argument just ends up as a sort of statement of your political beliefs.

There are more pejorative uses of the term; I guess we just end up in a semantic debate.


> Reactionary != White Nationalist

There are certainly places in the world where there are significant local reactionary ideologies that are not White Nationalist, but the US is not among them.
