The logic of these elements (and their prioritization, if any) makes more sense for European Whites defending their existing ethny within their ancient homelands. Perhaps that's as far as 'folkish' can ever extend. But, if intended to be a foundation for the entire defense of the White race including the White Diaspora, then the sheer scale of North America needs to be considered when discussing 2. Also, with regard to 3, rendering our current elites irrelevant in North America is easier than dismantling the system as it currently exists. To return to 2, the pro-White movement in North America is unlikely to ever take control of the entire continent for perhaps hundreds of years, maybe never. Pro-Whites in North America, especially those in areas where a 'normal' White majority still exists should look to separation and nullification in lieu of seizing the means of decision as the language of 2 seems to imply. 1 and 4 are definitely true of all Whites everywhere.

You bring up a very important point that I was thinking about as I was reading this piece, which is, how can we formulate an American (I'm American I apologize if you are not and are uninterested) folkish movement and is it even possible given the mess that is the cultural history of the United States. I feel like this is why some on the right shift into "civic nationalist" thinking, since it can be hard to define America as a unified culture/heritage.

I honestly think that 'White Nationalism' is the 'folkish' approach for White Americans. Whites in North America are the only ones who actually need an idea like 'White Nationalism' because 'America' hasn't represented a pro-White culture or a respect for ancient White traditions regarding autonomy and dialog since the War of Northern Aggression in the 1860s. 'American' is a generic ethnicity, not a White ethnicity.

The only way White North Americans will be able to retain their biocultural coherence is to (a) cease to be generic 'Americans' by shifting one's identification to 'White American' and (b) fully embrace the project of racial separatism and racial self-determination in the revolutionary ideals of White Nationalism.

For pro-Whites, there can be only one question, 'What is best for Whites?' rather than simply the American Creed of 'What is best for me?'

Once a White American starts asking themselves this question at every juncture where a decision has to be made, they will make the transition from being a selfish economic unit to a member of an emerging coherent racial community of persons like themselves: White.
