It depends how you define "people". Italian/Irish/German/Serb/Kurdish/etc. nationalism all make sense. "White" nationalism and "White" identity don't.

In point of fact, it is! I'm free to critique stupid ideas wherever I find them. "White" nationalism is a stupid idea because there isn't any "pan-White" common culture, language, religion, ethnicity, or history. It makes "pan-Arabism" look coherent by comparison.

"Anglosphere" is a coherent concept, both as an organizing principle for a nation and for a supra-national grouping. Agree that centuries of culture, language, legal traditions make drawing a line pretty easily. But may also include Hong Kong Chinese, certain Indians.

What unifies "whites" qua "whites"? Not history (unless you go back to pre-history), language, ethnicity, experience, or anything else. The average Ashkenazi Jewish genetic distance is 5th cousins. Jews have a common language, religion. history, tradition, ethnicity

"Not history, language, ethnicity, experience, or anything else." wrong on every single point

I'm not a big fan of the "white" circle myself, but Europe has had a very integrated history over the last 2,000 - 3,000 years, it's all Indo European language (with microscopic exceptions like Basques), it's all influenced by Greek and Rome...

Scandinavia wasn't particularly influenced by Greek and Rome. Russia was tangential, once you get past the Xtianity & Cyrillic alphabet. The Finns, Estonians, & Hungarians (among the 25 MILLION+ white Eurasians who speak a Uralic language) are hardly "microscopic exceptions".
