Round and round they go.. [Culturism, aka Westernism, aka ...]

Culturism's chapter on the definition of the West grounds this identity in history. We start with Achilles, go to Socrates, Jesus, Martin Luther, George Washington and Martin Luther. This trajectory is shown to be unique by contrasting it with the more collectivist and racist Asian identities as well as the theocratic Muslim identity.

A complaint culturists have with multiculturalists is that they do not take diversity seriously. They believe that all, at heart, are progressives in the tradition outlined above. The chapter on anthropology shows that human sacrifice, abusing women and drug use can be stable sources of cultural identity. Opposition to terrorists and Mexican drug lords cannot be taken for granted. If we do not practice culturism, Socrates' ideal of political probing will be lost.

Culturism means that the majority culture has a right to defend itself. In Western Europe that means we have a right to stop the proliferation of mosques.

Culturism opposes multiculturalsim. The problem with multiculturalism is that it does not believe in diversity. It considers, for example, tolerance to be universal. Islam provides a great example of diversity not being ephemeral. Islamic values are not compatible with a separation of church and state. Islamic values defy, rather than assume, freedom of conscience.

One culturist proposal is that we disallow outside funding of mosques in Western nations. If Saudi Arabia wants to engage in financial investments, that should be welcome. But mosque building is cultural invasion and should not be allowed. They do not allow us to build cathedrals in their country. That is fair; we should reciprocate. Culturism says we have a right to.

Apparently the [I assume] creator of "culturism" visited us first as a guest, and then registered:

Gender: Male
Meta-Ethnicity: Western
Mood: Accomplished
Ethnicity: Western
Religion: Athiest - Protestant
Biography: Born and raised in the Western world. I have travelled extensively.
Location: New York
Interests: Promoting culturism, the word and the book, is my hobby. If we call ourselves culturists we can disarm those who wish to silence us with the slur racist. By calling ourselves culturists we can generate the conversations that multiculturalists wish to avoid. Not all cultures are the same. We need to protect Western culture or we will find ourselves outliers in a hostile world.

Not necessarily, but the same problems arise from applying this Culturist (why not Culturalist?) idea to Europe.
Anyway, yes, the new craze for sure.

Culturist, look at it this way:
European Ethno-Nationalism (the predominant common ground for Stirpes members) is based upon two notions. That of Ethnos, the people, and that of Nomos, meaning both a geographic area and more importantly tradition and culture. Without Ethnos, there is no nation, and without Nomos, the nation is hollow. Culturism is insufficient in protecting both concepts, it is even hostile toward them, as it sells out Nomos for universal or pan-Western ideas. There is no common Western culture, I would even argue that Westernism is one of the greatest threats to Europe through its assumption that Capitalism, Human Rights and Liberal ideas somehow constitute the essence or highest evolved state of Western culture.
