I don't see anything inherently bad or dangerous about X-nationalism. It's free association, people want to hang out with others who share the same genes, why not?
@cjd @Yoruka @fba there is a difference between free association, which is fine, vs. segregationism which explicitly excludes certain people from their society based on race. That is what ethnostates necessitate.
Wait wait wait, what exactly is the difference between free association and discrimination?

I mean, doesn't free association also include the freedom to NOT associate with people you don't want to - for any reason?

How do you differentiate those things? Is it a limitation on the freedom? Like meaning you have freedom of association BUT not if you're making your determination of who to associate with based on race?

Of is it a limitation on the definition of association? So like it's association to decide who you invite to your house, and who can join your private club, but who you hire and who can live in your neighborhood is not association?
@cjd @Yoruka @fba freedom of association can include discrimination for sure, but I'm talking about a larger scale scenario where we're talking about inclusion in a state. I.e. black people don't have to hang out with white people, but that is different than white people not being allowed to be in a society with black people.

@realcaseyrollins @Yoruka @cjd @fba How big would something have to be in order to be considered a "society"? Would something like a China-town or a Native American Reservation fit the idea of "freedom of association"?

@xianc78 @xianc78 @Yoruka @cjd @fba I'm generally thinking of groups no smaller that a street or city block, but primarily, cities, states, and countries.
