White supremacists in the US love to hide behind euphemisms of "protecting culture", but what culture are they talking about? When was the last time you saw Patriot Front sponsoring a cultural festival? Have the Proud Boys spent a lot of time learning and teaching traditional European dances? Do you think NSC-131 spends a lot of time trying to preserve traditional European-American foods and recipes? Do you think the Oathkeepers spend a lot of time researching and sharing the particular cultural beliefs of the different European-American culture blocs, the traditional folklore and linguistic differences and religious disagreements?
No, for the avowed white supremacist there isn't any such thing as cultural traditions other than master-subject relations. The only "culture" they care about is a mythic past of white rulership, male rulership, straight rulership, etc. They cherrypick cultural elements to create a tapestry of American authoritarianism that is as caustic towards actual European and European-American cultural traditions as it is to everything else.
