The rise in White nationalist ideology in America is one of the pressing issues of our times. In this article, we make the case that White nationalists both extol the talents and virtues of White Americans and idolize and romanticize a former White-dominated America, while simultaneously condemning and demonizing the current state of America for Whites. This fundamentally ambivalent ideology contributes to dangerous downstream consequences such as fomenting violence against groups that threaten Whites’ status and resources and even calling for outright civil war. This article also examines the psychological impact of rapid demographic and cultural changes on groups in positions of power, and how these changes make some Whites, especially those who might already be suffering from instability, disenfranchisement, and loss, gravitate to groups who validate their fears and transform them into aggrieved entitlement and moral outrage. Finally, this article proposes policies that decision-makers and other leaders can take to undo the foundational ideologies that White supremacy is built upon and to help curtail its spread.

白人民族主义的心理学：对不断变化的美国的矛盾心理

美国白人民族主义意识形态的兴起是我们这个时代的紧迫问题之一。在这篇文章中，我们证明白人民族主义者既赞美美国白人的才能和美德，又崇拜和浪漫化一个以前由白人主导的美国，同时谴责和妖魔化白人的美国现状。这种从根本上矛盾的意识形态助长了危险的下游后果，例如煽动针对威胁白人地位和资源的团体的暴力行为，甚至呼吁进行彻底的内战。本文还研究了快速的人口和文化变化对掌权群体的心理影响，以及这些变化如何使一些白人，特别是那些可能已经遭受不稳定、被剥夺权利和损失的白人，被那些证实他们的恐惧并将其转化为受屈的权利和道德愤怒的群体所吸引。最后，本文提出了决策者和其他领导人可以采取的政策，以消除白人至上主义所依赖的基本意识形态，并帮助遏制其蔓延。
