It's not disingenuous. The whole reason they wish to preserve "white genes" is that they believe that this gene-stock is superior, and will lead directly to a flowering of civilisation. But they base this view on a romanticised reading of the past.

Yea, that's not true. Wanting to preserve a genetic stock doesn't implicitly mean that they think it's 'superior', and most all the leading Alt-Right figures will concede the faults of white people, or where they are inferior to other races (Higher Asian average IQ as an example)

If that's the case, why not just mix with East Asians to objectively improve their lot? There's a reason they want to keep their blood free of East Asian "taint": they don't judge superiority on IQ scores, but on a romantic notion that whites have a unique destiny among peoples.

There is a tinge of romanticism to the Alt-Right, ie: a 'love for one's people', and a sense that 'only we can be us'. I feel you're maliciously trying to wedge the word 'superiority' in, even where it doesn't make sense. Controlling your own destiny =/= some sort of "supremacy"

If the word "superior" troubles you, then we could exchange it for "worthier". Clearly, ethnonationalists believe that their ethnicity is more worthy of being preserved, which is why they prioritise its preservation to the exclusion of all others.

No, that's not 'clearly what they believe'. Of any Alt-Right discussion of 'why whites are justified in advocating for control of their destiny & the preservation of their people', never has 'WE DESERVE IT & THEY DON'T' come up.

I judge them by their actions, not their words. They are focused on preserving the white race *exclusively*. This alone justifies me in believing that they regard the white race as more worthy of preservation.

Is there something immoral about white people focusing on white people? I don't understand what you're getting at here. Is it okay for Ugandans to focus on Ugandans? Or do they need to do a PowerPoint presentation on the future of the Inuits whenever they discuss their people?

I didn't say it was immoral. I just said it was a fact.

Because it supports my notion that they have a romanticised view of things.
