Seems someone got the whole thing seriously wrong, but evidently there was a casting call for actors for a Cadillac commercial that was looking for "alt-right" or "neo-nazi" types.
Cadillac caused a stir this week when a casting service put out a request on behalf of the American luxury brand looking to fill the role of an "alt-right (neo-Nazi)" in a new commercial. Cadillac denied it had ever authorized the notice and condemned it, while the casting company took responsibility, saying that it had been issued by mistake. Regardless of who did what, the idea had to have been hatched somewhere and by someone, which reveals something far more troubling than a mere streak of poor taste and even poorer judgement in corporate America: the marketability and mainstreaming of an alt-right population, or those "identified variously with anti-globalist and anti-immigrant stances, cartoon frogs, white nationalists, pick-up artists, anti-Semites, and a rising tide of right-wing populism," as Tablet contributor Jacob Siegel wrote in a profile of Paul Gottfried, the alt-right's "godfather."
Hmm, maybe now that the "alt-right" has become just another marketing demographic, we do not have to worry about them taking over the country? I mean, who buys Cadillacs as a status symbol anymore? Not like they are your father's Oldsmobile. Except that, really, it was your father's Olds. So that brand no longer exists. Are we at the point where we can say, "Brietbart: it's not your grandpa's fascism!"? Except, really, maybe it is?

Racism is the answer to being attacked day and night and told to mix.
The human mind cannot easily deal with the attacks and starts hating those unlike him, choosing to work with only his race... in other words discriminating (I wonder (((who))) invented that particular usage of that word) against other races (OMG!!!111! how wrong!). So the globalists call them racists, and that is a loaded term. Hating your kind and by extension yourself is not a good idea.
Love yourself, love your country, love your people, don't make a habit of mixing, and as a result, hating others. Nationalism = Love.
Yes, of course it would be racism. It is racism.

Oh hey, a fishing lure! *noms*
I'm not somewhere I can watch a video right now, but I'm assuming that question is directed at guys as concerns trans women. If that's the case, I'm happy to report that the answer is mostly “yes.” Not always, but enough of the time. And plus, if you're just having fun without any intention of heading into the bedroom, then the guy doesn't even have to know IT'S A TRAP, does he?

Ah, watched a bit of the video, but the format was annoying.
Deleting a rant about infiltrator sheaths and woman suits, here's what I'm wondering, though, if the conversation isn't too stale. Ok, so I can be on board with nationalism. I can even somewhat jive with this idea that the Chinese should stay in China and the Nigerians should stay in Nigeria and the Mexicans should stay in Mexico, etc, but not completely. Ok, I think I know what that rhetoric is yearning for, and it's something else than the words themselves would indicate, but that's not much part of what I'm wondering. Maybe it is, though?
Let me know if I'm following your train of thought or completely failing to engage what you're saying.
Let me put forth the idea, and I'm hoping this is what we're both thinking, that this is a certain culture that is American Culture. In American Culture, we celebrate Christmas (winter ritual), Easter (spring ritual), Independence Day (summer ritual), and Thanksgiving (fall ritual), in addition to other seasonal rituals such as Veteran's Day, Labor Day, and Memorial Day. We also value the free market, invention, innovation, and individualism. We believe that our forefathers have blessed us with liberty, and we believe it is our sacred duty to keep that liberty. Am I still on the same wavelength?
Now, keep in mind I don't know the presenter of that video from Eve. Is dating a trans woman like dating a Chinese or Nigerian or Mexican woman? Are you saying that somebody who is a trans woman cannot be of this American Culture?
