Nationhood & Nationalism

“The Uniparty has forsaken the American border to the same digital docility to which Israelis had been forsaken. At least in Israel, an attack on the homeland is followed—however late and misguided—by a defense of the territorial homeland. An attack on the American homeland, invariably, sees our military pack up to go to … Timbuktu.”—ILANA Mercer, “Hamas, Israel And The Anatomy Of State Treason,” October 12, 2023
“‘The American People’ is an inchoate concept that sadly no longer means much.”—ILANA Mercer, “Republicans’ Main Focus: Showing Off How Black-Focused They Are,” November 18, 2021.
January 6: “There is a difference between a crime and a coup. Crimes against innocent fellow citizens are acts of cowardice; a coup against the State can be heroic–just like the American Revolutionary War was a coup against Britain.”—ILANA Mercer, “January 6 Committee: Menstrual America Vs. MAGA America,” July 29, 2021
“In the Afro-American society, particularism and tribalism are forcibly replaced with state-approved national identities. So, the ANC is indisputable king in the dominant-party state that is South Africa—just as the Democratic Party will soon command and control the burgeoning dominant-party state that the USA is fast becoming.”—ILANA MERCER, “South Africa Shames U.S. Democrats By Uniting Against Criminality,” July 16, 2021
“The country is fast descending into a Dantean hell. The Circles of Hell into which we’ve been signed, sealed and delivered are mass migration, diversity, multiculturalism, and zealous, institutionalized anti-whiteness, with its attendant de-civilization and inversion of long-held societal morals and mores.”—ILANA MERCER, “On The Backs Of Poor Whites? How J.D. Vance Elites Become Elites,” April 20, 2021.
“If members of the US Military had a moral core—in the original spirit of Posse comitatus, an ancient English institution—they’d head to their own country’s southwestern border where an unremitting invasion is underway.”—ILANA MERCER, “Empire’s Soldiers Head To Afghanistan To Defend The Homeland And Their Homeboys,” September 9, 2021
“America is a notion, not a nation.”—ILANA Mercer, “America’s Radical, Foreign-Policy Alinskyites Destroyed South Africa!“, March 25, 2021. (Originally, in Into the Cannibal’s Pot: Lessons From America From Post-Apartheid South Africa, 2011.)

(Originally, in Into the Cannibal’s Pot: Lessons From America From Post-Apartheid South Africa, 2011.)
“If anything, when expressed by the historical majority, the natural affinity for one’s tribe—a connection to kith, kin and culture—is deemed inauthentic, xenophobic, and racist, unless asserted by non-Occidentals.”—ILANA Mercer, “America’s Radical, Foreign-Policy Alinskyites Destroyed South Africa!“, March 25, 2021. (Originally, in Into the Cannibal’s Pot: Lessons From America From Post-Apartheid South Africa, 2011.)
“To Russell Kirk, the father of American conservatism, and an old-school conservative—as well as, arguably, to the founders of the nation themselves—society was a community of souls, joining the dead, the living, and those yet unborn. It cohered through what Aristotle called friendship and what Christians call love of neighbor, facilitated by a shared language, literature, history, habits and heroes. These factors, taken together, constitute the glue that binds the nation.”—ILANA Mercer, “America’s Radical, Foreign-Policy Alinskyites Destroyed South Africa!“, March 25, 2021. (Originally, in Into the Cannibal’s Pot: Lessons From America From Post-Apartheid South Africa, 2011.)
“Flooding Western democracies with non-western people has created societies without social capital, societies that share no enduring bonds other than the quest to extract as much power and possessions possible from the political process. Western nation-states are now imperiled entities. Their central authorities have worked to erode delicate sectarian and ethnic balance within, and thus hope for lasting comity among disparate communities.”—ILANA Mercer, “D’oh! Looks Like Democracy Dies In Diversity,” January 30, 2020.
“‘Things fall apart; the center cannot hold’; mere [secession] is loosed upon the world.”—ILANA Mercer, “Trump Going Into Beast Mode ,” November 12, 2020.

“America, it’s fair to say, is no longer a people in any meaningful way; it is a ‘Walmart with missiles,’ where the fusillades we direct at one another.”—ILANA Mercer, “Private Property And COVID: Choice, Not Force, Part 2,” May 28, 2020.
“Courtesy of its globalist elites, America is no longer a society; much less a serious one. In the absence of solidarity between citizens, social capital—’goodwill, fellowship, sympathy’—is scarce. Hence the struggle to mount a coherent response to the pandemic.”—ILANA Mercer, “Private Property And COVID: Choice, Not Force, Part 2,” May 28, 2020.
“It is American leaders, left and right, who’ve convinced their population that Americans are nothing unless strangers are streaming into their country at a rate of 2 million a year, speaking in tongues and inaugurating wet-markets in New York City. This is who we are, they tell us.”—ILANA Mercer, “Who Invited The World To Infect America?”, April 30, 2020.
“To the gilded globalists, America is not a country to be bounded by strictly controlled borders and to be patrolled and policed against viruses and villains. Rather, Bill Gates’ America is a territory for trade, not a nation. Walmart with missiles.”—ILANA Mercer, “Who Invited The World To Infect America?”, April 30, 2020.
“America is a market place for goods and services. A mighty one at that. It’s a market place to which millions arrive each year to make a living and engage in acts of acquisitiveness. America is a territory for trade. But is it a nation? Other than commerce and consumption, what is the glue that binds us together?”—ILANA Mercer, “Do We Still Have A Country? Part I,” Townhall.com, July 18, 2019.
“The successful reinvigoration of a community’s cultural identity must lie with that community alone. As it stands, Canadian society is entrusted with sustaining natives and their culture, and blamed for the inevitable atrophy such an arrangement breeds .”—ILANA Mercer, “Treaty Process Likely to Generate Huge Costs,” July 13, 2000
