That's a good question. All I can say for certain is that I'd like the idea of a white ethnostate to lose its emotionally charged association with violent thugs, and become a legitimate topic of intellectual inquiry. It's possible that it would be a bad idea to move in that direction in the West, but I'd at least like to know the reasons. The Petersonian framework gives some hints, with his explanation of order vs. chaos. Although there are a lot of things that make me shake my head when I return to the US which I associate with multiculturalism, it's also true that this might be the price paid for having a constant flow of paradigm-shifting innovation.

Peterson has mentioned that two of the best predictors of your political stance are openness and disgust sensitivity. High openness correlates with liberalism, low openness with conservatism, high disgust sensitivity with conservatism, and low disgust sensitivity with liberalism.

Like Peterson, I'm very high in openness but also pretty high in disgust sensitivity. This pulls me in both directions at the same time. I have a strong preference for both liberalism and conservatism at the same time.

Interestingly though, this is exactly how Japanese culture works. People are very open in their own head and in private conversation with people they know well (本音), but there's also a very high society-wide level of disgust sensitivity which drives very orderly action (建前). And most importantly, they're not worried about whether their thought is aligned with their action. They're perfectly okay with thinking one thing and then acting out another one entirely. They're free thinkers in their head, but rigidly controlled actors in their behavior.

Americans of course have plenty of misalignment between their thought and action as well, but it's done in a more begrudging way, if you will. There's a constant social pressure to conform your thought to your action, in order to be authentic.

This might sound tangential, but I suppose my point is that the question goes very deep, and penetrates into a whole sea of inquiry about how culture works and what kind of culture I'd like to see proliferate.

I have a very strong drive toward order, but this comes from my disgust sensitivity and not a closed way of thinking. Thus the idea of living in a Western ethnostate that polices thought sounds like a nightmare. What makes Japan work for me is that there's minimal persecution of thoughtcrime. The rigid order is manifested in behavior, and thought isn't touched very much.

But would I want to convert America to a Japanese-like cultural system? Of course not. Japan is already there, and I already have the option to just live there instead.

The question would be how to make a white ethnostate that's peaceful (like the Japanese), tolerant of free thinking (again, like the Japanese), but also highly innovative in the ways I value as a Westerner interested in Western intellectual tradition (unlike the Japanese). I wouldn't want the West to become authoritarian. I simply want to see the beauty of Western tradition shine. I want to see the disastrous disorder of cities like New York City fixed. It's shocking to spend a few days there after living for many years in a Japanese city.

My impression is that the same psychological and sociological forces that lead away from ethnostatism are what lead toward the exact chaos we see in the West right now. So my impulse is to suggest that we implement ethnostatism, especially since things are working so well in Japan, at least from my perspective. But of course it's possible that there's no viable path in that direction, that doing so would preclude other aspects of Western culture that I value, or that we could achieve my goals without ethnostatism.

I apologize if this doesn't qualify as an open and precise answer about my politics, but I suppose that's because I don't really have one. I'm still searching for answers. As I mentioned in the first paragraph, my only concrete objective is to get people to be more open about these conversations. I'd like people to stop seeing thinkers like Jared Taylor as insane, evil, and twisted.
