Amren has officially announced this year’s conference. I saw this yesterday, and it triggered a dream. It’s a dream that highlights an inner conflict I’ve struggled with, and which I’ve touched on here.
I had a friend who’s been attending Amren conferences since they started. Like me, he’s Jewish. Obviously, like me, he’s pro-White. We would talk fairly regularly by phone and hang out together during the conferences – until one conference when I befriended Jason Kessler. He’s the man who organized the now infamous Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville. As its name implies, it was meant to bring various factions of “The Right” together to protest the removal of a Robert E. Lee statue. Unfortunately, it included neo-Nazis. Even more unfortunately, the grotesquely biased Charlottesville police department engineered confrontations between the participants and Antifa. As intended, this led to violence and the rally permit was revoked. Much has been written about this. Bottom line, the rally set back our cause quite a bit. Kessler, arguably, made some mistakes.
We all make mistakes. I think that his heart was in the right place, and he took our struggle to the streets. This is worthy of respect.
My guess is that my Jewish friend didn’t see it that way. He (apparently) broke off our friendship. Kessler was too cozy with antisemites. As far as I was concerned, if somebody respects me, knowing that I’m a Jew, then he can’t be much of an antisemite. If we have common cause, I’ll respect him back.
Edit: It turns out it was simply a misunderstanding. My “former friend” is still my friend; we had simply lost touch. I am, of course, very happy about this!
For personal reasons, I missed last year’s conference, and I’ll miss this one. I haven’t had to experience the awkwardness of seeing my former friend face to face. I do hope to attend next year.
In my dream, I was chatting with a close relative of my former friend, and this person was encouraging me to attend the upcoming conference. At some point, the former friend had to relay messages between us, which he did – but he refused to speak to me directly as my own person. When I tried confronting him about it, he ignored me. The rest of the dream is a blur, but I think I did end up attending the conference.
There’s a word for a person who befriends the enemies of his own people: Traitor. I don’t respect traitors. I don’t respect Jews who work against the Jewish people. I don’t respect Whites who work against the interests of White people. I don’t respect ANYBODY who works against the interests of his own people. If a nationality is flawed, then try to fix the flaws. We try to fix the flaws in our own children; we don’t usually hate them for the flaws.
Am I a traitor for my tolerance of antisemites? I don’t think so; I’m not encouraging the antisemitism, just pointing out that it’s largely provoked by Jewish antiwhitism. Trying to promote dialog is not the same as cavorting with the enemy.
Many, if not most, White-nationalists expect Jews to be traitors to our own people. They admire men like “Brother Nathanael ,” (thanks for the great write-up, Luke!) who spew venom against Jews at every opportunity. This is the wrong approach; it looks a bit like hypocrisy.
On this blog, and more recently on X, I defend the Jewish people (when warranted) and I defend Whites. I’ve defended men like Eric Aarvoll, who founded and runs RTTL (Return To The Land).
I just saw that he did a long interview with Nick Fuentes. I didn’t watch it. I found it disturbing, but not surprising. Maybe it’s not as bad as I think. I don’t think I can stomach two hours of Fuentes.
90% of the time, my support is not reciprocated. Typically, I’m ignored. Sometimes, I get responses such as this:

My former friend, and many others, would say, “Well DUH!! They’re neo-Nazis. Of course that’s how they’re going to react!”
To what extent is the pro-White movement infected with virulent antisemitism? It’s hard to say. Many people who should be considered “pro-White” distance themselves from the movement because of its association with antisemitism. It looks like the vast majority of publicly pro-White people are Jew-haters to one extent or another. Even Jason Köhne, who has made it very clear that he’s not “anti anybody,” has grown bitter toward Jews – and my assumption is that his bitterness is toward ORGANIZED Jewry such as the ADL (which has caused him a lot of grief). I’ve noticed that Köhne writes “jews” and “jewish” in lower-case. Jared Taylor, by no means an antisemite, has been tweeting news clips of obviously Jewish villains demonstrating their hatred against White people.
As they say, “it is what it is.” I’ve also been pointing out the Jewishness of those villains. Why? Because it upsets me and because I want people to know that I don’t consider those antiwhite Jews to be my brothers and sisters. I consider them to be vermin.
Does it bother me that my efforts are ignored by neo-Nazis? It shouldn’t. We shouldn’t seek the approval of those whose obsession in life is our extermination. On the other hand, it would be nice if some of them softened their stance and took a more reasonable approach.
As for Jason Kessler, he has softened his stance. I don’t know if I played a part in this or not. He’s a thoughtful man, so more likely, he simply realized how toxic and unhealthy it is to base one’s life upon the hatred of other human beings.
Will my former friend see the light and welcome me with open arms to next year’s Amren conference?
You’d have to define what you understand under “Neo-Nazi”. The term is about as vague as “Racist”. If it is anyone who likes Hitler and doesn’t believe the Holo happened, then your efforts regarding trying to build bridges with pro-Whites is likely in vain.
There are lots of grifters btw. David Duke, Andrew Anglin, Nick Fuentes, Handsome Truth, Jason Köhne, Tommy Robinson, Martin Sellner, Sam Parker… the list is long. There are way more grifters than legit people, at least when it comes to figures with a somewhat large audience.
While not limited to it, they usually try to sabotage the WN movement with hatred against White women, being bad optics by both looks and behaviour or by promoting Christianity, in some cases all of the above.
I’m more forgiving when it comes to who is a “grifter.” I’m quite fond of some of the men on your list.
Bottom line, as far as I’m concerned, if somebody is prepared to speak with me and relate to me as a human being, knowing that I’m Jewish, then he’s not a “neo-Nazi.” I might disagree with him on key issues. I might consider him deluded, misinformed, closed-minded or indoctrinated, but if he doesn’t hate me for being a Jew, then he’s not a neo-Nazi. This is my own personal definition. As you, correctly, point out, it’s a very vague and subjective term.
