Just a point of curiosity if someone could give me a hand.

What is the difference, if any, between a supremacist and a white nationalist?

I realize that I'm asking if there's a difference between two turds in a bucket, because regardless they both stink, but I am curious.

Thank you in advance.

national identity. The white supremacist is in solidarity with all white people (except Jews, whom they hate regardless of color), while the white nationalist adds the blood and soil nonsense to his racist rants Sometimes he simply tries to claim he is not racist, but merely patriotic, but that the nation he is loyal to is white, not multicultural or racially diverse.

White nationalists believe different races should live in different countries. This is why Lew Rockwell was friendly with Elijah Muhammed, because they both wanted the same thing - separate countries.

A lot of people are both white supremacist and white nationalist, but call themselves nationalists because it sounds better.
