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.

I don't think we can declare "Jewish is coherent; white is not". There are varying levels of coherence. Bavarian > German > European > White Same w Jews. Ashkenazi > Jewish > "People of the Book" > Middle Eastern > ...

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

Nope. See rebuttal elsewhere. You raised at most a vague statement about some sort of vague greek/roman influence. Your linguistic FAMILY argument was clever, but if you define it at the level of IE languages, you don't come anywhere near mutual intelligibility.

you're adding in mutual intelligibility as a requirement? moving goal posts. Also, I guess Jews didn't pass this hurdle between ~0 AD and ~ 1880 AD ?

AND != OR I've never said that a nationalism needed to have ALL of those things. It needs to have ONE of them. But Jews have always been able to converse in Hebrew, and religious Jews in Aramaic, regardless of the vulgate.
